Bubble AI + Hostwares: How to Host Your AI-Generated Frontend
Bubble AI makes it easier to turn an idea into a web application with AI. But after creating your project, you may need a reliable hosting environment to make the frontend available online. With Hostwares, you can take your frontend code from your development workflow and deploy it to a managed hosting environment, connect your own domain, enable SSL, and manage the project from one place. Follow this simple step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Create Your Bubble AI Project
Start by using Bubble AI to create your application. Describe your idea and let Bubble AI help generate the interface and application experience you need. Before deployment, review the project and make sure the frontend is ready to publish.
Step 2: Prepare Your Frontend Code
If your workflow provides exportable frontend code, prepare the project files for deployment. Check that the project builds correctly and that all required dependencies and environment settings are ready.
Step 3: Push the Project to GitHub
Create a GitHub repository for your frontend project and upload the project files. Make sure the correct branch, such as main, contains the version you want to deploy.
Step 4: Create Your Hostwares Account
Visit Hostwares and click Get Started. Create an account or log in to your existing account. After logging in, open the Hostwares Dashboard.
Step 5: Create a New Site
From the Dashboard, go to Sites and click New Site. Choose the GitHub deployment option and connect your GitHub account when prompted. Select the repository containing your Bubble AI frontend.
Step 6: Configure the Deployment
Select the branch you want to deploy and review the detected project settings. Choose a suitable resource package for your project and confirm the required build or deployment settings. Then start the deployment. Hostwares will handle the hosting environment so you can focus on your application instead of managing server infrastructure manually.
Step 7: Check Your Live Website
After deployment is complete, Hostwares will provide the information you need to access your website. Open the provided URL and check your frontend. Test the main pages, navigation, buttons, images, and other important elements to make sure everything works as expected.
Step 8: Connect Your Custom Domain
Want your project to look more professional? Open the domain settings in Hostwares and add your custom domain. Follow the DNS instructions provided by Hostwares and update the required records at your domain provider. Once the DNS changes are active, your website can be accessed using your own domain.
Step 9: Enable SSL
A professional website should use a secure HTTPS connection. After your domain is correctly connected, configure SSL through the relevant Hostwares settings. Once SSL is active, visitors can securely access your website through HTTPS.
Step 10: Update Your Project
If you make new changes to your Bubble AI frontend, update the project in GitHub and trigger a new deployment according to your Hostwares setup. This makes it easier to keep your live website synchronized with the latest version of your project.
Step 11: Manage Everything from Hostwares
After your website goes live, you can continue managing your project from the Hostwares Dashboard. Depending on your setup, you can manage your site, deployments, domains, resources, and other hosting services from one place. Why Use Hostwares for Your Bubble AI Project?
