# Deploy to your cloud

Review here. Ship to your cloud.

Station is where your agents build. When it’s time to launch, Defang Deploy ships the app to dev, staging or production in your own cloud account.

## Current offer

$39/month for one Station, plus your own AI subscription. Your first hour is free, no card needed. After that, a card starts a 7-day free trial (one per customer). Checkout shows the exact date of your first charge.

## How it works

1. **Get the app ready** Keep your code on GitHub, and ask your agent to write the short setup file that tells Defang Deploy how your app runs. Agents know the format (Docker Compose) well.

2. **Connect your cloud** Set up Defang Deploy with the cloud account you want. It’s your account, in your name.

3. **Ship it** Add your app’s settings and secrets, deploy, and check the live site behaves the way it did on your Station.

## Where production should live

A link on your Station is good for showing people. For something people depend on, Defang Deploy gives your app its own home that doesn’t rely on your Station being up.

## Pick your cloud and region

Defang Deploy ships to AWS, Google Cloud or Azure, in the region you pick, in your own account. Dev, staging and production can each go to a different one. Your Station stays on Defang’s cloud in the region it was built in, and launching the app doesn’t move it.

## What you’ll pay

Station, your AI account, Defang Deploy and your cloud are separate bills. Your Station fee doesn’t include production hosting, so check Defang Deploy’s pricing before launch day.

## Does the Station subscription include production hosting?

No. Your subscription covers your Station. Production runs on your own cloud account through Defang Deploy, with its own costs.

## Can I deploy any project without setup?

Not instantly. The app needs its settings, services and data hooked up first. That’s a good job for your agent, reviewed by you before anything goes live.
