You can use over the air distribution for your app by uploading it to a website and accessing it via a specially crafted URL, similar to itms://path/to/manifest.xml. An example manifest file can be found here.

Note though, that using this method without an enterprise distribution profile, you will still need to provision the devices that you expect to run the app on. You are limited to 100 devices on a normal developer account.

You can apply for an Enterprise account, if you need to distribute to more than 100 devices and you will not need to explicitly provision those devices. However, the terms of the Enterprise agreement state that it is to be used for in-house distribution only, not to the general public. If Apple find out that you are just using the enterprise distribution to get around the App Store, they will close the account. They may not even give you one in the first place, if you cannot prove that you will only use it for in-house distribution/testing.

For that you need to register with apple for Enterprise account, once you register, you can distribute the application without app store, with the distribution certificate.
