Get the link in front of real humans.
How to share your site, point your own domain at it, and know if anyone visited.
The first 10 shares to do today
Send the link to five people you would tell about a new restaurant. Personal beats public for early feedback.
A small group you already trust. They will roast you, which is the point.
Twitter, LinkedIn, or your platform of choice. Pin it for a day. Reply to every comment.
Update every profile. The new URL goes everywhere your old one was.
Bringing your own domain (yoursite.com)
Every project ships on a your-app.moonshift.page link by default. Any paid plan lets you point your own domain at it. Setup takes about ten minutes.
Open billing. The Hobby plan ($19/mo) already includes custom domains. You can downgrade or cancel later.
Open the site, click Add a domain, paste your domain. Moonshift gives you two settings to copy.
Open your registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) and paste the two settings. This is the only technical step.
Most domains verify within minutes. Some take a couple of hours. You do not have to refresh: we email you.
Knowing if anyone visited
You do not need an analytics stack on day one. Three signals are enough:
- Did your inbox get mail? The contact form goes to your email. Real humans filling a form is the most honest signal.
- Did anyone reply to your post? Likes are not data. A reply with a question is.
- Did the form get spam? Annoying, but it means your site is being indexed.
Good places to share a freshly shipped site
- →Twitter / X. Reply to relevant threads before posting a launch tweet.
- →LinkedIn. The plain story of why you built this beats a polished announcement.
- →Niche communities. Indie Hackers, subreddits, Slack groups. Share once, then stick around.
- →Your existing audience. They already trust you. Ask for one piece of feedback, not a share.

The site does its job only when real people see it. Iterate from their reactions, not your assumptions.
