Deploying contracts on main or test net is very simple. At first you need to make sure you tested thoroughly your Dapp and contracts. Then decide if you want to deploy your contract on main or other type of network. It can be done with Metamask, by clicking on an dropdown in the top left corner:

Now open Remix IDE at http://remix.ethereum.org/ Make sure your contract is opened, and compiled. Then in the 'Run 'tab: ![]
()

Important details are:

Environment: If Injected Web3 is selected, the Remix IDE will be using Metamask to connect to Ethereum blockchain
Account: that account will be an owner of a smart contract. Make sure you have some Ethereum there to cover costs of deployment. Make sure the right account is selected! This is the only account that will be able to interact with special functions of your contract like a kill function:

  function kill() public {
     if(msg.sender == owner) selfdestruct(owner);
  }

Finally when all the information is correct click on the Deploy button.

That will show you a confirmation window similar to:

Tap on OK. Now you should be able to see Metamask's window. The most important part of it is Max total which is $5.46 That's the maximum cost of deployment on Ethereum's network. Not bad.
