dev tithy··4 min read

Step 1:Create a Hostwares Account

First, create an account on Hostwares. Visit the Hostwares website and click Get Started or open the registration page. After creating your account and logging in, you will be taken to the Hostwares Dashboard. The Dashboard is where you can manage your websites, deployments, databases, domains, and other services.

Step 2: Open the Dashboard

After logging in, open your Dashboard. To create a new website, go to: Dashboard → Sites → New Site This is where you can start the website deployment process.

Step 3: Connect Your GitHub Repository

After clicking New Site, choose the GitHub deployment option. Connect your GitHub account and select the repository that contains your website. For example: github.com/yourusername/my-websiteFor example: github.com/yourusername/my-website Then select the github.com/yourusername/my-website Then select the branch you want to deploy, usually the main branch. Hostwares can detect the framework used by your project and help configure the build process.

Step 4: Choose Your Resource Pack

Next, select the resource pack for your website. The resource pack determines the resources available to your application, such as: CPU RAM SSD storage For a small website or testing project, a smaller resource pack may be enough. For a larger website or application with more traffic, you can choose a higher resource pack. You can also resize your resources later if your project grows.

Step 5: Review and Deploy

After selecting your GitHub repository and resource pack, review the deployment settings. When everything looks correct, click Deploy. Hostwares will start building your application and deploy it to the cloud. You can monitor the build process through the deployment logs. After a successful deployment, your website will be available through a live Hostwares URL.

Step 6: Connect Your Custom Domain

If you already own a domain, you can connect it to your Hostwares website. Open your deployed website and go to: Site → Settings Then add your custom domain. For example: yourwebsite.com You will then need to update your domain's DNS records according to the information provided by Hostwares. Once the DNS configuration is correct, your domain can point to your deployed website.

Step 7: Set Up SSL

Hostwares supports SSL for custom domains. After your domain's DNS configuration is completed and verified, SSL can be automatically provisioned. Your website can then use: https://yourwebsite.com instead of an unsecured HTTP connection. This helps protect visitors and provides a more professional website experience.

Step 8: Automatically Deploy New Changes

One of the useful features of GitHub-based deployment is that you can make changes to your website and push them back to GitHub. Your workflow can look like this: Edit Code → Push to GitHub → Hostwares Builds → Website Updates This means you do not have to manually upload your website files every time you make a change.

Step 9: Check Deployment Logs

If your deployment does not work as expected, you can check the build and deployment logs. The logs can help you identify problems such as: Build errors Missing dependencies Incorrect configuration Environment variable problems Application errors This makes troubleshooting easier because you can see what happened during the deployment process.

Step 10: Get Help from HW AI

Hostwares also provides HW AI, an AI-powered DevOps assistant designed to help with infrastructure and deployment tasks. You can use natural-language instructions to ask for help with tasks such as deployment, troubleshooting, configuration, and other DevOps-related work. For example, you could ask: “Deploy my website from GitHub.” Or: “Why did my deployment fail?” HW AI can help explain problems and guide you through the next steps.
