What does everyone use to host their apps? A place where the apps are hosted, then a download link is made through a url shortener like tinyurl or bitly for example .

Im currently using my hosting account (in file manager), but on some devices when you hit download, the end user can see my host url (which id rather keep private).

Ive tried dropbox, but its slow to download from, and can can sometimes cause an error.

Just wondering what the best solution is, and what others are using?

Id like a somution thats fast & efficient, and keeps my personal information hidden if possible.

Thanks..

buyfasthosting is very good
Maybe you picked me up wrong mate. Im not looking for a hosting account.

Im looking to know what people use, or best recommendation to host apps for download.

After i have the app finished, where is the best place to put it for download. Where is the best place to put the finished apk app for download (that is fast & efficient, without showing any personal information).

On most devices yes. I have a custom domain through Rebrandly. Some decices, you see Rebrandly (favicon & name), but on others, you see where the apk is being downloaded from.

Create your own app store then.

Yeah ive done that to. But some folks just want the single url link to 1 app. I try and use AFTVnews downloader (number) codes as much as possible.

Will figure something out. Thanks for your replies guys 👍

Ok here is what I do others may do it different , but I host my panels on used to be hostinger but now on buyfasthosting(cpanel)
and I host my APKs for people to download on dropbox pro account.
to hide the panel url I use tinyurl.com (yes I know there are ways to reveal the link but not all know how to do it)
for the APK thats easier than you think , I host the APK on dropbox generate the link and change the =0 to =1 on the end of the link
I then goto http://go.aftvnews.com and paste the link in and generate a downloader code :)
when i have sold an app with a panel final message will be something like this :-

PANEL INFO
panel
login with admin and admin

APK INFO

Code for Downloader App
654320
Short URL
aftv.news/654320
Usage:
Enter the code 654320 in the Downloader app to load the destination URL.

Enter either aftv.news/654320 or 654320.aftv.news in any browser to load the destination URL.

I have a template for this and i just copy paste the info in makes life a lot easier
While I understand you want to hide the url where you are hosting the file be it hostinger or another , just put a blank index.html file in the directory and it stops people looking
