# Introduction

The QuickPod console is the main web interface for renting compute, managing workloads, browsing templates, operating host machines, and accessing public marketplace pages.

Primary console URL: <https://console.quickpod.io>

For an operation-by-operation decision guide, see [Console Operations FAQ](/console/operations-faq.md).

## Public pages you can open without logging in

These routes are useful for public discovery, sharing, and documentation links:

* [GPU Search](https://console.quickpod.io/)
* [CPU Search](https://console.quickpod.io/cpu-pod-search)
* [Templates](https://console.quickpod.io/templates)
* [GPU Catalog](https://console.quickpod.io/gpu-types)
* [Host Stores](https://console.quickpod.io/host-stores)
* [System Status](https://console.quickpod.io/system-status)
* [Clusters](https://console.quickpod.io/clusters)
* [Serverless](https://console.quickpod.io/serverless)
* [Storage](https://console.quickpod.io/storage)
* [Refer & Earn](https://console.quickpod.io/refer)

## Core console areas

### Search and launch

Use GPU Search or CPU Search to find rentable offers with live filters for hardware count, hardware type, VRAM, location, duration, price, occupied state, and related machine attributes.

### Templates

The Templates page includes public templates, community templates, and your own templates once you log in. Templates define image, launch mode, startup behavior, Docker options, published ports, and readme content.

### Pods

The authenticated Pods area is where you monitor pod readiness, connect, restart, stop, or destroy workloads after launch.

### Storage

The Storage area covers persistent volumes and cloud sync workflows for moving data between QuickPod volumes and supported providers.

### Clusters and serverless

Clusters let you run multiple replicas of a template under one logical deployment, and Serverless lets you publish a cluster service through a managed invoke URL.

### Settings and security

The Settings area now includes billing, invoices, two-factor authentication, secure API keys, user profile settings, notifications, and reusable secrets.

### Hosting mode

Host accounts see additional hosting routes for listing machines, adjusting offer pricing, monitoring occupancy, reviewing contracts, and managing host storefronts.

For a page-by-page public route reference, see [Public Pages](/console/public-pages.md).
