I noticed the share funcionality uses a Vagrant URL (vagrantshare.com). Sure enough, when I scrolled to the bottom there was mention of a web service. I imagine this web service will be monitized as it just makes a lot of sense, but hoping that single devs can still demo their projects to friends without having to pay a fee.

If my above assumption is true, would a Vagrant Share Enteprise be in the works/future, similar to Github Enterprise?

Thanks for the awesome tools HashiCorp!

It's most likely being used to generate a nice URL that does dynamic DNS forwarding to the actual server.

One could probably get away with just using an IP and a port, but within an organization that's behind a firewall it's not always immediately obvious which IP and port to use.
