Bubble AI + Hostwares: How to Host Your Bubble AI Frontend on Hostwares
Building an application with AI tools can make development much faster. If you use Bubble AI to create your application’s frontend, the next step is getting your project online and accessible to your users. With Hostwares, you can host your frontend and manage your deployment, domain, SSL, and hosting environment from one place. This guide walks you through the process from your Bubble AI project to a live website.
Step 1: Build Your Application with Bubble AI
Start by creating your application using Bubble AI. Build the pages, user interface, layouts, and features you need for your project. Before deploying, make sure your application is ready and that the required frontend files or deployment method are available for your project.
Important: Bubble applications are normally hosted within Bubble's own platform. If your project does not provide exportable frontend code, you cannot simply download the Bubble application and host it elsewhere. This guide applies when you have a deployable/exportable frontend that can run on external hosting.
Step 2: Choose a Hostwares Hosting Plan
Visit Hostwares and open the Hosting section. Review the available hosting plans and choose one that matches your project's requirements. Click Get Started or Buy Now to continue.
Step 3: Create Your Hostwares Account
Log in to your existing Hostwares account or create a new account. Complete the required information and finish the checkout process for your selected hosting plan.
Step 4: Open Your Hostwares Dashboard
After purchasing your hosting plan, log in to the Hostwares Dashboard. From the dashboard, you can access your hosting environment and deployment options.
Step 5: Deploy Your Frontend
Open the Deploy section and select the deployment method supported by your project. If your frontend code is stored in GitHub, connect your repository and select the project you want to deploy. Follow the deployment instructions and start the deployment. Once the deployment is complete, Hostwares will make your frontend available online.
Step 6: Check Your Live Website
Open the temporary or provided deployment URL and test your application. Check that:
- Pages load correctly
- Images and assets work
- Buttons and links function properly
- Responsive layouts work on different screen sizes
- Frontend features behave as expected Fix any issues before connecting your custom domain.
Step 7: Connect Your Custom Domain
Want your application to use a professional address such as:
www.yourapp.com
Open the Domain settings in Hostwares and add your domain.
Then update the required DNS records at your domain provider according to the instructions provided by Hostwares.
After DNS changes propagate, your custom domain should point to your deployed application.
Step 8: Enable SSL
Security is essential for any application. Configure SSL for your connected domain using the available Hostwares settings and follow the provided instructions. Once SSL is active, your website can be accessed securely through HTTPS.
Step 9: Test the Final Website
Visit your custom domain and perform a complete test. Check:
- HTTPS is working
- All pages load correctly
- Images and assets are available
- Navigation works
- The layout works on mobile and desktop
- Any connected APIs or backend services work correctly
Step 10: Manage and Update Your Application
Your application is now live, but you can continue improving it. When you make changes to your frontend, update your project repository and redeploy through Hostwares when applicable. From your Hostwares environment, you can continue managing your deployment and hosting configuration as your project grows.
