Access your ship from multiple computers or host your own groups
You'll need to get your planet hosted.
If you know you want to be more active on urbit over the long term, you may choose to get it hosted instead. A hosted planet means it runs 24/7 in the cloud, and instead of using Port, you have a permanent URL where you can log into your ship from any number of machines you want. Having a hosted planet also means you can create and host groups on your ship (you can't do that while using Port because your group members need your ship to be running at all times or they can't communicate).
Choose your own planet
If you want a cool planet name I can sell you one from ~ripwet.
