# Welcome to InstaPods

> Your app, live in seconds. One command. Real servers. Starting at $3/mo.

You built an app. Now get it online.

**InstaPods** gives you a cloud pod in under 2 seconds. Each pod is a persistent Linux server with its own domain, SSH access, and pre-installed stack. No Docker. No DevOps. No cold starts.

Works with apps built in Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, or any tool.

## How It Works

```bash theme={null}
# Install the CLI
curl -fsSL https://instapods.com/install.sh | sh

# Create a pod
instapods pods create my-app -p nodejs

# Upload your code
instapods files sync my-app --local ./my-project

# Reload to install deps and start your app
instapods pods reload my-app

# That's it — your app is live
# → https://my-app.nbg1-1.instapods.app
```

Or use the [dashboard](https://app.instapods.com) — create a pod, upload files, and manage everything from the browser.
