For work in motion

A professional link before you commit to a domain

A custom domain is a permanent commitment to one name, pointed at one place — but most of what you build isn't permanent yet. Portship gives you a clean, credible link for the in-between: after the ugly deploy URL, before you're ready to register a domain.

The problem with buying a domain too early

Domains cost money on every new idea, take DNS and SSL setup, and lock you into one name before the project has found its shape. Most experiments get renamed, paused for client sign-off, or quietly retired. Paying $14 a year for each one doesn't fit how you actually work.

Use Portship for everything still finding its shape

Wrap any deployment in seconds, rename the slug whenever the project changes, and skip registration entirely. Ten links are free; one $5/month plan covers everything you'll ever ship. Buy the domain for the thing you're certain about — use Portship for the rest.

Credible enough to put in front of anyone

A yourname.portship.app/project link reads as intentional, not throwaway. Drop it in a client email, a pitch, or your bio and the work leads — without the cost and lock-in of a domain you might not keep.

Frequently asked

Why not just buy a domain?

You can — and for one finished product you mean to keep, a $14/year domain is a fine choice. But a domain is permanent, points at one place, and needs setup on every project. Portship is built for work in motion: instant, renameable links for everything still finding its shape.

Can I switch to a real domain later?

Of course. Portship is for the in-between. When a project becomes permanent, point a custom domain at it — and keep using Portship for the next ten experiments.
