Frequently asked
Hosting FAQ
Is hosting really free?
Yes. Every Persoona-deployed website gets a free <slug>.pdemo.dev URL with SSL + global CDN included. No credit card required for the deploy itself. Pro tier unlocks 1 shared hosted MVP per account.
What's <slug>.pdemo.dev?
It's the apex domain Persoona uses to host user-launched MVPs. <slug> is built from your founder profile slug + your idea name, so dhillon-hridea.pdemo.dev = 'Mona's Hridea MVP'. Clean, brand-neutral, fine to share with investors or customers while you wait to register your own domain.
Can I move to my own domain later?
Yes. Attach any custom domain you own (yourbrand.com, yourbusiness.ai, etc.) via the Build dashboard. Persoona configures the DNS + SSL automatically; the original pdemo.dev URL stays live as a 308 redirect so any links you shared still work.
Do I own the code?
Yes. Your MVP is a real Next.js + Supabase project that lives in your own GitHub repo (or Persoona's shared GitHub org for the Free tier). You can pull the code, run it locally, modify it, deploy it anywhere — unlike Wix where the site is locked into their platform.
What if pdemo.dev goes down or Persoona shuts off the apex?
Your code is yours regardless. Even if pdemo.dev disappears tomorrow, the Next.js codebase is in GitHub + Vercel and can be re-pointed at any apex by changing one environment variable (PERSOONA_DEMO_APEX_DOMAIN) and a sitemap regen.
How is this different from Wix's free tier?
Three differences. (1) You own the code — Wix locks you into their platform. (2) Your site is real Next.js + Supabase you can modify; Wix sites are visual-editor exports. (3) Persoona is built for founders building businesses, so the deploy comes with IP analysis, MVP planning, growth + capital readiness in the same workspace. Wix is built for 'I need a brochure site by tomorrow' and is great at that.
What's the catch?
Free-tier sites use Persoona's shared Vercel + Supabase infrastructure (subject to fair-use limits + the platform's billing cap). Heavy production traffic or sensitive workloads should graduate to your own Vercel + Supabase accounts via the BYO (bring your own) deploy path. Pro tier ($99/mo) bundles 1 shared hosted MVP + unlimited BYO deploys.
