Deploy your app

There are several options to deploy your app.

Meteor Deploy

Free meteor deploy hosted by Meteor.

meteor deploy yourapp.meteor.com

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

Meteor Up (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.
