The Cloud & Your Project
Where your app actually lives, and what a project really is.
Your project lives on a computer you rent but never touch. The moment you publish, your files get copied to that computer and handed an address anyone can visit.
Your preview copy and your live site are two different things. People on the internet see the last version you published — nothing updates until you publish again.

Words you will hear
- Hosting
- The always-on computer you rent so your app never disappears when you shut down.
- Domain
- The human-readable address — like yourapp.com — that points people to your rented computer.
- Deploy
- Copying your latest work to the live address so the world can see the change.

The cloud
A rented computer in a data centre that never turns off. It waits for visitors around the clock.
