### Posit Connect / HMS Research Data Visualization Platform (RDVP)

One option for hosting your Shiny apps is to use [Posit Connect](https://posit.co/products/enterprise/connect/), which your institution may have an account for. HMS has made a pilot for Posit Connect availible to **HMS Quad-based faculty, staff, and students** is through the [HMS Research Data Visualization Platform](https://it.hms.harvard.edu/service/research-data-visualization-platform-rdvp-pilot). Unfortunately, HSDM, HSPH, hospital affiliates, and hospital-based labs are _not_ eligible. Users who use this option have access to an unlimited number of apps and computation hours for the duration of the pilot at no cost. This is the likely best option for people who are eligible. Uploading apps through this platform has a few advantages:

Users who use this option have access to an unlimited number of apps and computational hours for the duration of the pilot at no cost. This is the likely best option for people who are eligible. Uploading apps through this platform has a few advantages:

1. Uploading apps is simple
2. It allows you to control access to who can see and use your app. You can let anyone use it, require a login or only invite certain people to be able to use it
3. You can give it a custom URL

### Shinyapps.io

If you aren't eligible for Posit Connect or the HMS Research Data Visualization Platform then [Shinyapps.io](https://www.shinyapps.io/) is a platform that is run by Posit for hosting Shiny apps and it is likely your next best choice. It has several different levels of access. Its lowest level of access is free and allows the developer to upload up to 5 apps and have 25 hours of computing per month. This level is recommended if you are new to the Shiny world. It allows you host a few apps and play around with them a bit. However, you can quickly go through the 25 hours of computational resources and it won't be too hard to create more than 5 apps. After the free level, they have higher levels service that provide developers with more computational hours and higher, or even no, limits on the number of apps. Higher levels also come with more customer services options as well. Pricing information can be found [here]https://www.shinyapps.io/#pricing-anchor.
