## Deploying Over the Web
|
|
|
|
Once you've written your Shiny app, you can make it available to anyone who has a web browser, using our Shiny Server software. You can either host the applications on your own server, or let us host your Shiny applications for you.
|
|
|
|
If you want a simple way to distribute your Shiny app so that users can run them on their own computers, see <a href="#deployment-local">Deploying Shiny Apps to Run Locally</a>.

### Self-hosted Shiny Server

With our [Shiny Server](https://github.com/rstudio/shiny-server) software, you can deploy Shiny applications over the web so that users need only a web browser and your application's URL. You'll need a Linux server and [Shiny Server](https://github.com/rstudio/shiny-server).
