1. Build Your Project with Bolt.new
Start by creating your website or full-stack application in Bolt.new.
You can use AI prompts to build:
Business websites
Landing pages
SaaS applications
Dashboards
Web applications
Full-stack projects
Before deployment, test your project and make sure the main features are working correctly.
Check your:
Frontend
Backend
Database connection
Forms and APIs
Images and assets
Mobile responsiveness
Once everything is ready, move your project to GitHub.
2. Push Your Project to GitHub
Connect your Bolt.new project to GitHub or export the project to a GitHub repository.
Open your repository and make sure all required project files are available.
For example:
package.json
Source code
Configuration files
Required assets
Framework files
Keep sensitive information such as API keys and passwords out of your public repository.
3. Choose Hostwares Website Hosting
Now you need a hosting environment for your project.
Visit Hostwares and select a hosting plan based on your project's requirements.
Consider:
Expected website traffic
Storage requirements
Database requirements
Server resources
Application requirements
After purchasing your hosting plan, you can use the Hostwares environment to deploy and manage your website.
4. Open Your Hostwares Dashboard
Log in to your Hostwares account after completing your purchase.
From the dashboard, you can access your hosting and website management options.
Depending on your hosting setup, you can manage:
Deployments
Domains
SSL
Server settings
Website resources
Application configuration
This dashboard becomes your central place for managing your hosted project.
5. Connect Your GitHub Repository
Now connect your GitHub repository to your Hostwares hosting environment.
Your deployment workflow will generally look like this:
GitHub Repository → Hostwares → Build → Deploy → Live Website
Select the appropriate repository and branch for your project.
Depending on your application, you may also need to configure:
Build command
Start command
Environment variables
Application port
Runtime settings
Use the commands required by your project's framework.
6. Configure Environment Variables
Many full-stack applications require environment variables for databases, APIs, authentication, or other services.
Add these values through your hosting environment rather than placing private credentials directly in your source code.
For example:
DATABASE_URL=your_database_url
API_KEY=your_api_key
NODE_ENV=production
Never publish private API keys or passwords in a public GitHub repository.
7. Deploy Your Website
Once your repository and settings are ready, start the deployment.
Hostwares will build and deploy your application according to your configured settings.
After deployment is complete, open the provided website URL and test your application.
Check:
Homepage
Navigation
Login/Register
Forms
Database functionality
API requests
Images
Mobile responsiveness
If something does not work, check the deployment logs to identify the issue.
8. Connect Your Custom Domain
Once your website is working correctly, you can connect your own domain.
For example:
www.yourwebsite.com
Add your domain through the domain settings in your Hostwares dashboard.
Then update the required DNS records at your domain provider according to the configuration provided by Hostwares.
After the DNS changes are active, your domain can point to your hosted website.
9. Set Up SSL
HTTPS is essential for a professional and secure website.
After connecting your domain, configure or enable SSL through your hosting environment if required by your setup.
Once SSL is active, visitors can access your website securely through:
A secure HTTPS connection also helps create trust for your website visitors.
10. Manage Your Website After Deployment
Launching your website is only the beginning. You will also need to maintain and update it.
From your Hostwares hosting environment, you can manage your website according to your hosting setup, including:
Deploying new versions
Managing application settings
Checking deployment logs
Managing domain settings
Managing SSL
Monitoring server resources
When you update your project, you can push the changes to GitHub and deploy the latest version through your hosting workflow.
11. Update Your Website Easily
Once everything is configured, your regular workflow can be simple:
Bolt.new → Update Project → GitHub → Hostwares → Deploy → Live
This makes it easier to continuously improve your AI-built application without rebuilding your hosting environment from scratch every time.
Why Use Bolt.new + Hostwares?
Bolt.new helps you create applications quickly with AI, while Hostwares provides the hosting environment needed to bring your project online.
Instead of stopping after creating your application, you can take the next step and turn it into a live website with hosting, domain, SSL, deployment, and ongoing management.
For developers, businesses, and creators who want to move quickly from an AI-generated project to a live application, this workflow provides a practical way to manage the complete deployment process.
Final Deployment Checklist
Before launching your website, make sure:
✅ Bolt.new project is ready
✅ GitHub repository is connected
✅ Hostwares hosting is active
✅ Project is successfully deployed
✅ Environment variables are configured
✅ Custom domain is connected
✅ SSL is enabled
✅ Website functionality is tested
✅ Mobile version is checked
✅ Production website is ready
Conclusion
Bolt.new makes building full-stack applications easier with AI, but reliable hosting is what turns your project into a website that customers can actually access.
By connecting GitHub with Hostwares, you can move your Bolt.new project from development to a live production environment and manage hosting, domain, SSL, deployment, and updates from your hosting setup.
If your Bolt.new project is ready, the next step is to choose a Hostwares hosting plan and start your deployment journey.
