Step-by-step setups for the apps people bring to Stedhold.
Turn a project that only runs on your laptop into a private link that invited people can open, without adding sign-in to the code.
Share Streamlit, Gradio or FastAPI apps with specific people behind a sign-in gate, with more than one private app.
Put an email sign-in and an HTTPS private link in front of a server you already run on DigitalOcean, Hetzner or any VPS.
Give a client a private link to an app built in Lovable, Bolt or v0, with an email sign-in and 24-hour guest passes for quick reviews.
Railway and Render are general hosting platforms. Stedhold is narrower: private apps with a sign-in gate. Here is when each fits.
What it takes to host a private app with sign-in on AWS yourself, and what Stedhold does for you instead.
