FlutterFlow AI + Hostwares: Deploy Your Web App Through GitHub
FlutterFlow AI helps you build modern web applications with less manual coding. Once your web app is ready, GitHub can make it easier to manage the project and deploy updates. With Hostwares, you can choose Website Hosting, connect your GitHub project, deploy your FlutterFlow web app, connect a custom domain, and manage the website from one place. This guide explains the complete process from FlutterFlow AI to a live website on Hostwares.
1. Create Your Web App with FlutterFlow AI
Start by creating your web application in FlutterFlow AI. Build the required:
- Pages
- Navigation
- Forms
- Components
- Responsive layouts
- API connections
- Dynamic features Test the application before preparing it for deployment.
2. Prepare the Web Version
Make sure your FlutterFlow project is configured for web deployment. Check:
- Web support
- Responsive layout
- Page routing
- Assets
- API integrations
- Authentication Fix any issues before exporting or deploying the project.
3. Connect Your Project to GitHub
Use FlutterFlow's supported GitHub workflow to connect your project with a GitHub repository. Select or create the appropriate repository and keep the production branch organized. Your GitHub repository should contain the files required for the web deployment.
4. Test Your GitHub Project
Before connecting it to hosting, check that the repository is updated with the latest project version. Verify:
- Source files
- Configuration
- Assets
- Dependencies
- Build settings
5. Choose Hostwares Website Hosting
Sign in to your Hostwares account and open the Website Hosting section. Choose a hosting package according to your:
- Website traffic
- Storage needs
- Performance requirements
- Application size
- Future growth Select the package that matches your project.
6. Create a Hostwares Hosting Project
From your Hostwares dashboard, create a new hosting project. Enter a project name and select the required resources. Continue to the deployment configuration.
7. Connect GitHub to Hostwares
Select the GitHub deployment or repository connection option available in your Hostwares hosting setup. Authorize the GitHub connection if required. Then select:
- GitHub account
- Repository
- Production branch
- Project directory Make sure you choose the correct repository.
8. Configure Build Settings
Configure the build command and output directory required by your FlutterFlow web project. The exact settings depend on the generated project structure. Do not use a generic build command unless it matches your project's configuration.
9. Add Environment Variables
If your application uses APIs, databases, authentication, or external services, add the required environment variables in the Hostwares project settings. Keep sensitive credentials secure and never commit private API keys to a public GitHub repository.
10. Deploy Your FlutterFlow Web App
Review the project configuration and start the deployment. Hostwares will pull the project from GitHub and process the deployment. Monitor the deployment logs until the process completes successfully.
11. Test the Live Website
Open the generated project URL and test your web application. Check:
- Homepage
- Navigation
- Forms
- Authentication
- API connections
- Images
- Dynamic features
- Mobile responsiveness Fix any issues before connecting your main domain.
12. Connect Your Custom Domain
Open the domain settings of your Hostwares project. Add your custom domain and update the required DNS records at your domain provider according to the Hostwares configuration. Wait for the DNS changes to become active.
13. Enable SSL / HTTPS
After your domain is connected, configure SSL. Confirm that the website opens securely using HTTPS. Test important pages again after SSL activation.
14. Test Automatic Updates
When your GitHub workflow supports automatic deployment, make a small change in your FlutterFlow project. Then:
- Update the project.
- Push the changes to GitHub.
- Check the Hostwares deployment.
- Wait for the new build.
- Test the updated website. This creates a simple FlutterFlow AI → GitHub → Hostwares workflow.
15. Manage Your Website
After launch, use the Hostwares dashboard to manage your project. Monitor:
- Hosting resources
- Deployments
- Build logs
- Domain
- SSL
- Application errors
- Website performance Regular monitoring helps keep your website stable.
16. Update Your Web App
For future updates:

Update Web App
↓
Sync / Push to GitHub
↓
Hostwares Deployment

Test Live Website
This makes the update process easier and more organized.
17. Common Problems

18. Final Checklist
Before launching, confirm:
- FlutterFlow AI web app is ready
- Web version is tested
- GitHub repository is connected
- Hostwares Website Hosting is selected
- Hosting project is created
- GitHub repository is connected to hosting
