# Share real links

Let people try what you built.

Get a real public link for the site or app your agent builds. It’s hosted on your Station, and when you’re ready for a proper launch, Defang Deploy takes it to your own cloud.

## 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. **Build something** Ask your agent for a site or an app, and get it working on your Station.

2. **Ask for a link** Tell your agent to put it on the web. Your Station has its own address, and the secure connection is handled for you.

3. **Send it around** Open the link yourself first, signed out, the way a stranger would. Then share it and collect reactions.

## Why a live link beats a screenshot

A screenshot shows one moment. With a live link, people click around the app itself on their own phone, and that’s where the useful feedback comes from.

## Published means public

Anyone with the link can open it, with no sign-in. That’s fine for a landing page or a demo. Don’t use it for private data or anything you wouldn’t show a stranger.

## When it’s ready to launch

A link lives on your Station, so it’s only up while your Station is. For a production launch, ship it to your own cloud with Defang Deploy. You can also point a domain you own at your Station for a nicer name.

## Is the link private because my Station is private?

No. Your Station is yours alone, but a published link is open to anyone who has it. Check it signed out before you share it.
