Launch your web app to the internet with a single click. Rocket publishes your app through Netlify (the hosting service that puts your app on the internet) automatically, giving you a public URL you can share with users, clients, or testers.Update or unpublish anytime.

​
Why launch to web

  • Share a live link instantly - send a URL to clients, teammates, or testers without zipping files or setting up hosting
  • Get indexed by search engines - deployed sites are crawlable by Google, which means your content can start ranking
  • Connect a custom domain - point your own domain at the deployed site for a production-ready presence
  • Push updates in one click - every time you improve your app, hit Update to publish the latest version to the same URL
