Before you start
- Confirm what the platform lets you export (code, database, auth).
- List every service the app uses: database, auth, storage, email, payments.
- Rotate any keys that were ever pasted into chats or exposed.
Steps
- Sync or export the project to a GitHub repository you own.
- Install dependencies and run it locally; fix build errors.
- Create a production database or keep the existing managed one, and verify access rules.
- Add environment variables in your host’s dashboard.
- Deploy from GitHub to Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare Pages (or a VPS for backend-heavy apps).
- Add your domain and update DNS records (A or CNAME) as instructed; wait for HTTPS to activate.
- Test signup, login, payments and emails on the live domain.
- Set up uptime monitoring and error tracking.
Common problems
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Build fails | Wrong Node version or missing dependency | Pin the Node version; install missing packages |
| Blank page | Environment variables missing or wrong base path | Set variables; check build output directory |
| Login redirect loops | Auth callback URLs still point to the old domain | Update allowed redirect URLs in your auth provider |
| Database errors | Rules or keys differ in production | Check access rules and environment values |
SEO after moving
If the public pages are rendered only in the browser, search engines and AI crawlers may see little. Use server-side rendering or pre-rendering for pages you want found. See hosting an app built with Claude.

Frequently asked questions
Can I keep using Lovable or Bolt after moving hosting?
Often yes by syncing through GitHub, but check each platform’s current features and terms.
Will my domain work immediately?
DNS changes can take minutes to hours to propagate; HTTPS activates once the host verifies the domain.
Can you do the migration for me?
Yes. We handle export, deployment, DNS, security review and monitoring.
