Try typing it in directly. This is my URL from my site http://port-80-21vabq2yrh.treehouse-app.com/. A link won't work because you need a domain name and host to make the site live. when I put this URL into my browser my site pops up. Hope this helps. Melissa

I don't think sharing directly from the workspace will work since workspaces are connected to an account of yours.

If you own a domain hosting you could add it there and send a link. But if you want to share live website you could choose an alternate route like team viewer or something similar.

But to be globally on the internet for uses to see you will need to get some domain hosting
