This article demonstrates some of the features of Shiny Server and introduce you to the deep literature that is waiting to help you download, install, and configure your own Shiny Server. When the user leaves, Shiny Server will automatically stop the app. Shiny Server will host each app at its own web address and automatically start the app when a user visits the address. You can also use Shiny Server to make your apps available across the Internet when you choose.

With Shiny Server you can host your apps in a controlled environment, like inside your organization, so your Shiny app (and whatever data it needs) will never leave your control. It builds a web server specifically designed to host Shiny apps. Shiny Server is an open source back end program that makes a big difference.
