This guide shows you how to take your Webflow AI website from exported code to a live website using Hostwares Website Hosting.
Why Host Your Webflow AI Website with Hostwares?
After exporting your website code, you need a reliable hosting environment to make it available online. Hostwares helps you manage the important parts of launching your website:
- Website hosting

Step 1: Create Your Website with Webflow AI
Start by creating your website using Webflow AI. Add your pages, content, images, sections, and design elements according to your business needs.
Step 2: Review Your Website
Check the complete website before exporting it. Test the navigation, buttons, images, forms, desktop layout, and mobile responsiveness.
Step 3: Export Your Website Code
When your website is ready, use Webflow's available export option to download the website files. Keep the exported files together so they are ready for deployment.
Step 4: Choose Hostwares Website Hosting
Now select a Hostwares Website Hosting plan that fits your website requirements. Choose a plan based on your expected traffic, storage needs, and future growth.
Step 5: Purchase and Activate Hosting
Select your preferred hosting plan and complete the checkout process. After activation, open your hosting dashboard and prepare the hosting environment.
Step 6: Upload Your Webflow Website
Upload the exported Webflow website files to your Hostwares hosting environment. Make sure the main website files are placed in the correct web directory.
Step 7: Check Your Website on the Server
After uploading the files, open the temporary hosting address or available preview option. Confirm that the website loads correctly before connecting your domain.
Step 8: Connect Your Custom Domain
Go to your domain provider's DNS settings and add the required records for your Hostwares hosting setup. Once the DNS changes become active, your custom domain will point to your website.
Step 9: Enable SSL and HTTPS
Enable SSL for your connected domain from your hosting environment. This allows visitors to access your website securely through HTTPS.
Step 10: Test Your Live Website
Open your custom domain and test the complete website. Check pages, navigation, images, forms, buttons, mobile layout, and HTTPS before promoting the site.
Step 11: Manage Your Website After Launch
After your website goes live, you can continue managing the hosted files and website environment from Hostwares. Regularly check your website and keep important files updated.
Step 12: Update Your Website
When you make changes in Webflow, export the updated website files again. Upload the updated files to Hostwares to publish the latest version.
Step 13: Scale Your Hosting as You Grow
As your website receives more visitors, your hosting requirements may increase. Upgrade your hosting resources when needed to support higher traffic and future business growth.
