Hostwares Website Hosting: How to Get Started and Deploy Your Website Step by Step

Getting a website online can sometimes feel complicated, especially when you have to deal with hosting, servers, deployments, domains, SSL, and other technical settings. Hostwares Website Hosting** provides a simpler way to take your project from GitHub to a live website. Instead of manually managing every part of the deployment process, you can connect your GitHub repository, select your resources, deploy your project, and manage your website from the Hostwares Dashboard. This guide explains how to get Hostwares Website Hosting and where to click to set up your website from start to finish.

## 1. Create Your Hostwares Account

The first step is to create a Hostwares account. Go to the Hostwares website and click Get Started or go to the login/registration page. After completing the registration process, log in to your account. Once you are logged in, you will see the Hostwares Dashboard. The Dashboard is the main place where you can manage your hosting services, websites, deployments, domains, databases, and other resources.

## 2. Go to Sites and Create a New Website

From the Hostwares Dashboard, look for the Sites section. Then click: Dashboard → Sites → New Site The New Site option starts the website deployment process. At this point, Hostwares will ask you to provide the source of your website and configure the resources needed to run it.

## 3. Connect Your GitHub Account

If your website code is stored on GitHub, choose the GitHub deployment option. You will need to connect your GitHub account with Hostwares. After connecting GitHub:

  1. Select your GitHub account.
  2. Choose the repository containing your website.
  3. Select the branch you want to deploy.
  4. Usually, this will be the main branch. For example: github.com/yourusername/my-website Once the repository is selected, Hostwares can identify the framework and help prepare the project for deployment. This makes the process easier because you don't have to manually upload all of your website files.

## 4. Select the Resources for Your Website

After choosing your repository, the next step is to select the resources for your website. Depending on your project, you may need resources such as: CPU RAM SSD storage If you are launching a small website, portfolio, or testing project, you may not need a large resource package. For a bigger application with more traffic or resource requirements, you can choose a higher package. Another useful part is that your resources can be resized later if your project grows.

## 5. Review Your Settings Before Deployment

Before deploying, carefully review your project settings. Check that: The correct GitHub repository is selected. The correct branch is selected. Your resource package is appropriate. Your application configuration is correct. Required environment variables are available. Once everything looks correct, click Deploy. Hostwares will then begin the build and deployment process. You can follow the progress through the deployment or build logs.

## 6. Your Website Goes Live

When the deployment finishes successfully, Hostwares will provide a live URL for your website. Open the URL in your browser to check your website. At this stage, your project has gone through a simple workflow: GitHub Repository → Hostwares → Build → Deployment → Live Website You can now test your website and make sure everything is working correctly.

## 7. Connect Your Own Domain

If you already have a custom domain, you can connect it to your Hostwares website. Open your deployed site and look for: Site → Settings → Domain Then add your domain. For example: yourwebsite.com Hostwares will provide the DNS information required for the connection. Go to your domain provider and update the DNS records according to the information provided by Hostwares. After the DNS settings are correctly configured and verified, your domain can point to your Hostwares website.

## 8. Enable SSL for a Secure Website

After connecting your custom domain, the next important step is SSL. Hostwares supports SSL for custom domains. Once your DNS configuration has been completed and verified, SSL can be automatically provisioned. Your website can then be accessed using: https://yourwebsite.com instead of: http://yourwebsite.com Using HTTPS helps protect visitors' connections and gives your website a more professional appearance.

## 9. Update Your Website Directly Through GitHub

One of the convenient parts of GitHub-based deployment is that you can continue working on your website after the initial deployment. For example: Edit Code → Push to GitHub → Hostwares Builds → Website Updates Instead of manually uploading your website files every time, you can keep your project in GitHub and use your normal development workflow. This can be especially useful for developers who regularly update their websites or applications.

## 10. Check Logs When Something Goes Wrong

Sometimes a deployment may fail because of a coding or configuration problem. If that happens, open your site's deployment or build logs. The logs can help you understand problems such as: Build errors Missing dependencies Incorrect configuration Environment variable issues Application errors Instead of guessing what went wrong, you can use the logs to identify the problem and determine what needs to be fixed.

## 11. Use HW AI for Deployment and DevOps Help

Another feature that can be useful for developers is HW AI, Hostwares' AI-powered DevOps assistant. HW AI is designed to help with deployment, infrastructure, troubleshooting, configuration, and other DevOps-related tasks. For example, you could ask:

"Why did my deployment fail?" Or: "Help me deploy my website from GitHub." Instead of trying to understand every technical detail yourself, you can use natural-language instructions to get assistance with your deployment and infrastructure workflow.---

What Do You Need to Get Started?

To use Hostwares Website Hosting for a typical GitHub-based website, you will generally need: A Hostwares account A website project A GitHub repository containing your project The appropriate resource package A custom domain if you want to use your own domain Once these are ready, you can start the deployment process from the Hostwares Dashboard.--- Who Is Hostwares Website Hosting For?
