Built with Windsurf? Here's How to Get Your App Live

Windsurf can help you go from an idea to working application quickly. But a project sitting on your computer isn't a production website. You need somewhere to run it.

Start With Git

Push your Windsurf project to GitHub. Make sure the repository contains the files required to install, build, and start your application.

Create a Hostwares Site

Create a new site and connect the GitHub repository. Select the correct branch. For most projects, the platform can detect the framework and basic deployment configuration.

Configure What Your App Needs

Depending on your project, you may need: Environment variables A database A custom port A specific Node.js version A custom build command

Configure these before deploying.

Connect Your Domain

After the deployment succeeds, add your domain. For example: www.myproduct.com

Now your Windsurf project has a proper production address.

Keep Building

The nice part about this workflow is that Windsurf remains your development environment. You keep writing code. Git keeps track of changes. Hostwares runs the production application. Build with Windsurf. Push to GitHub. Deploy when you're ready.
