Deploy your app

There are several options to deploy your app.

Meteor Deploy (easy)

You can use the free meteor deploy service (hosted by Meteor) or your can deploy to your own server.

meteor deploy <yourapp>.meteor.com

Or to your own domain using Meteor deploy by setting the CNAME of your domain to origin.meteor.com.

Semi-Manual Deploy (recommended)

We find the use of Digital Ocean with Meteor Up to be the simplest and most cost effective hosting solution. For a more robust database experience give Compose a try.

Manual Deploy (experts only)
