You need to check the Box "Distribute to Enterprise" when you Archive your Application. When you do so, a plist File is generated. (Be Careful with the Informations you Provide, the URL has to be right). Place the ipa and plist to your server.

Then you can Link to the plist from an HTML File:

itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://YOURSERVER/YOURAPP.plist

Thats how you do OTA (Over-The-Air Distribution)

This is only possible with an Enterprise Profile or an AdHoc Profile for dedicated Devices, thus for Testing Purposes.

You can also use http://www.testflightapp.com
