What is the Hosted Page?

Every Spynra project comes with a hosted landing page — a standalone, publicly accessible URL that anyone can visit to join your waitlist. You don't need a website, a developer, or any technical setup. Spynra handles the hosting, the form, the confirmation screen, and the referral mechanics.

Your hosted page lives at a URL like:

Your hosted page URL
https://spynra.com/w/your-project-slug

You choose the slug when you configure the page. The page is live and publicly accessible as soon as you enable it. Share it anywhere — social media, email, a Linktree, a tweet — and signups flow directly into your dashboard.

💡
The hosted page is the fastest path from zero to live. If you just need to start collecting signups today, this is the right place to start. You can always add an embedded widget to your own website later.

Enabling Your Hosted Page

  1. 1
    Open Project Settings
    From your project dashboard, click Settings in the left sidebar. This opens the project-level configuration panel.
  2. 2
    Navigate to the Hosted Page tab
    Select the Hosted Page tab at the top of the Settings panel. You'll see the enable toggle and all configuration options on this screen.
  3. 3
    Toggle the hosted page on
    Flip the Enable Hosted Page toggle to the on position. Your page is now live and accessible to the public at your slug URL.
  4. 4
    Set your page slug
    Enter your preferred slug in the Page Slug field. Slugs must be lowercase, contain only letters, numbers, and hyphens, and be unique across all Spynra projects. For example: my-app-waitlist or projectnova-beta. The full URL previews in real time below the field.
  5. 5
    Save your settings
    Click Save Changes. Your slug is now reserved and your hosted page is live at spynra.com/w/your-slug.
⚠️
Slugs can be changed after setup, but any previously shared URLs with the old slug will stop working. If you've already distributed your link, avoid changing the slug unless absolutely necessary.

Customizing Your Hosted Page

All customization is done within the Hosted Page tab in Settings. You can update these values at any time — changes take effect immediately without any republishing step.

Headline and Subheadline

The Headline is the large text at the top of your page — the main value proposition for your product. Keep it direct and outcome-focused. The Subheadline sits below and gives you a sentence or two to expand on what you're building and who it's for.

Background and Theme

Choose a background color using the color picker, or select from Spynra's built-in themes (Dark, Light, Gradient, Custom). Themes control the entire page palette including text color, button style, and input field appearance. If you choose Custom, you can set the background, text, and accent colors individually.

Button Text

The text displayed on the signup button. Defaults to "Join the Waitlist". Common alternatives: "Get Early Access", "Reserve My Spot", "Notify Me at Launch". Keep it short — under 30 characters works best on mobile.

Success Message

The message shown to a user immediately after they successfully submit the form. The default message shows their position in the waitlist and their referral link. You can customize the headline and body text of this screen, but the position number and referral link are always included.

Sharing Your Hosted Page URL

Once your page is enabled and your slug is saved, the full URL is displayed at the top of the Hosted Page settings tab with a Copy Link button next to it. Click Copy to put it on your clipboard, then share it wherever your audience is:

  • Post it directly on X, LinkedIn, or Instagram
  • Add it to your Linktree or bio link
  • Include it in a newsletter or cold outreach email
  • Pin it in a Discord or Slack community
  • Add it to a Product Hunt "upcoming" page

Anyone who visits the URL sees your branded landing page and can join in under 30 seconds.

Hosted Page vs. Embedded Widget

Spynra gives you two ways to collect signups: the hosted page (this article) and an embeddable widget you install on your own website. They serve different purposes.

Use the Hosted Page when:

  • You don't have a website yet and need to start collecting signups immediately
  • You're launching fast and don't want to deal with frontend code
  • You're sharing the link on social media and want a clean, standalone destination
  • You want a shareable URL that looks credible without requiring a full site

Use the Embedded Widget when:

  • You already have a website and want signups to happen without leaving your domain
  • Brand consistency matters and your site has established design patterns
  • You want the form to appear inline within existing page content
  • SEO traffic is already landing on your site and you want to convert it directly
💡
There's no reason to choose one over the other permanently. Many teams run both simultaneously — the hosted page for social sharing, and the embedded widget on their marketing site. All signups land in the same waitlist regardless of which entry point they came through.

Redirecting Your Own Domain to the Hosted Page

If you own a domain but don't have a full site set up, you can redirect it to your Spynra hosted page. There are two straightforward approaches:

Option 1: DNS-level 301 redirect (recommended)

Most domain registrars (Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, etc.) offer URL redirect records. In your DNS settings, create a redirect record from your domain (e.g., getonmyapp.com) to your Spynra hosted page URL. Set it as a 301 (permanent) redirect. This is the cleanest option — visitors and search engines follow the redirect seamlessly.

Option 2: HTML meta refresh redirect

If your hosting provider serves static files, create an index.html at your domain root with the following content:

index.html — simple redirect page
<\!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://spynra.com/w/your-slug"> <link rel="canonical" href="https://spynra.com/w/your-slug"> <title>Redirecting...</title> </head> <body> <p>Taking you to the waitlist...</p> </body> </html>

Replace your-slug with your actual project slug. This method redirects in under one second and is compatible with any static host.

SEO and the Hosted Page

Spynra hosted pages are publicly crawlable and indexed by search engines by default. This means if someone searches for your product name or a relevant keyword, your waitlist page can appear in results.

To improve your search appearance, add a meta description in the Hosted Page settings. The meta description is the sentence shown below your page title in Google results. A good meta description is 140–160 characters, describes what you're building, and includes a call to action.

💡
If you'd prefer your hosted page not appear in search results — for example, if it's an invite-only private beta — enable the No-Index toggle in the Hosted Page settings. This adds a noindex meta tag and tells search engines to skip the page.
