# Manage a service

After deployment, Hostly shows the service on the workspace dashboard and on the service details page.

## Check the service

Open the service details page to see:

* the public Hostly URL, if the service is public
* the internal address `<service-name>:<port>` other services of the workspace use
* the current service status
* the Docker image
* live logs

Use the status badge as the first signal. If the service is not running, check the logs before changing the deployment.

## Control the service

From the service details page you can start, pause, stop, restart, delete, or modify the deployment.

Use **Modify Deployment** when you need to change the image, subdomain, internal or public reachability, port, environment variables, secrets, files, or volumes. Hostly opens the deployment wizard with the current settings. The service name cannot be changed.

## Review usage

The workspace dashboard shows usage and service status. Check it after the first deployment and again after traffic changes, image updates, or configuration changes.
