//share + measure

Get the link in front of real humans.

A live URL is only worth what it reaches. Here is how to share it, how to point your own domain at it, and how to know if anyone actually visited.

The first 10 shares to do today

  1. step 01
    DMs first

    Send the link to five people you would tell about a new restaurant. Personal beats public for early feedback.

  2. step 02
    One group chat

    A small group you already trust. They will roast you, which is the point.

  3. step 03
    One social post

    Twitter, LinkedIn, or your platform of choice. Pin it for a day. Reply to every comment.

  4. step 04
    Your bio links

    Update every profile. The new URL goes everywhere your old one was.

Bringing your own domain (yoursite.com)

Every project ships on a *.moonshift.page preview subdomain by default. Any paid plan (Moon, Starter, Pro) lets you point your own apex domain at the site. Most people finish the setup in ten minutes.

  1. step 01
    Be on any paid plan

    Open billing. The Hobby plan ($19/mo) already includes custom domains. You can downgrade or cancel later.

  2. step 02
    Add the domain in your account

    Open the site, click Add a domain, paste your domain. Moonshift gives you two settings to copy.

  3. step 03
    Update your domain provider

    Open your registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) and paste the two settings. This is the only technical step.

  4. step 04
    Wait for the green check

    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 a heavy analytics stack on day one. Three signals are enough to start.

  • Did your inbox get mail? The contact form is wired to your email. Real humans typing into a form is the most honest signal.
  • Did anyone reply to your post? Likes are not data, but a reply asking a question is.
  • Did the form get fake entries? Spam is annoying but it also means your site is being indexed. Add a friction step on the form if it gets out of hand.

Good places to share a freshly shipped site

  • Twitter / X. Reply to relevant threads. Do not bomb the timeline with a launch tweet first.
  • LinkedIn. The plain story of why you built this lands better than a polished announcement.
  • Niche communities. Indie Hackers, relevant subreddits, Slack groups for your space. Share once, then stick around.
  • Your existing audience. Newsletter readers, podcast listeners, customers. They already trust you. Ask for one piece of feedback, not a share.
