## Deploying your Addon
**Note:** Although deploying is recommended, there is also the alternative of using [localtunnel](https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel) to host your addons locally.
Stremio addons require hosting in order to be published. You will need a NodeJS hosting solution, as Stremio Addons made with the Stremio Addon SDK are NodeJS apps.
We recommend:
- [Beamup](./beamup.md) - free
- [Heroku](https://www.heroku.com) - [free with some restrictions](https://www.heroku.com/pricing)
- [Fleek](https://fleek.co/) - [free with some restricitions](https://fleek.co/pricing/)
- [Glitch](https://glitch.com/) - [free with some restrictions](https://glitch.com/help/restrictions/)
- [cloudno.de](https://cloudno.de) - [free for up to 150k requests/month](https://cloudno.de/pricing)
- [Evennode](https://www.evennode.com) - [free for 7 days trial](https://www.evennode.com/pricing)
You can also check this very comprehensive [guide by nodejs](https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/wiki/node-hosting).
Stremio addons are deployed just like regular nodejs apps, so follow the nodejs instructions provided by your particular service provider.
If you've built a great addon, and need help with hosting your addon, you are welcome to contact us at [[email protected]]([email protected])
**NOTE:** we used to recommend now.sh, but after getting reports from multiple developers of now.sh suspending accounts without good reason, we no longer recommend it
### Publishing to Stremio
If you want your addon to appear in the list of Community addons in Stremio, check out [publishToCentral](../README.md#publishtocentralurl)
If you are not using the Addon SDK to create your addon, you can publish your addon in the list of Community addons in Stremio by submitting it on [this site](https://stremio.github.io/stremio-publish-addon/index.html)
