Deploy Bolt.new sites with VibeDeploy
Bolt.new lets you scaffold full-stack apps from a prompt entirely in the browser. VibeDeploy turns the export into a real production site on your own domain, hosted in the EU.
Why VibeDeploy for Bolt.new
Bolt.new previews run inside StackBlitz's WebContainer for fast iteration, but they're not production-grade hosting. To put your Bolt app in front of real users on your own domain, you need to export and deploy it elsewhere.
Production-grade
Real edge servers, not an in-browser sandbox. Sub-50ms response times across Europe, no WebContainer cold-start.
Static and SPA-ready
Bolt's default Vite + React + Tailwind output deploys without configuration. Drag, drop, done.
EU compliance built-in
GDPR-compliant, Belgian-hosted, with a DPA included on every paid plan. No US-data routing.

Common questions about deploying Bolt.new
How do I export or download a Bolt.new project as a ZIP?expand_more
Open the project in Bolt.new, click Download in the project controls, and save the ZIP containing the full source code. Unzip it on your computer. For the usual Vite project, run npm install and npm run build; the deployable site is then in the dist folder.
How do I put my Bolt.new export on a real domain?expand_more
Build the downloaded project, then upload its dist folder to VibeDeploy or push the source to GitHub and connect the repository for automatic redeploys. Add your domain in site settings and point its CNAME to VibeDeploy. Let's Encrypt SSL is issued automatically on every plan.
Will Bolt's StackBlitz-specific dependencies work in production?expand_more
Yes for client-side code. Bolt mostly outputs Vite + React + Tailwind which builds to static assets. Anything that ran in WebContainer purely as a dev convenience (mock APIs, hot reload) is not in the production build.
Can I redeploy automatically when I edit in Bolt?expand_more
Bolt does not have a Git auto-export, but you can connect a GitHub repo manually and let VibeDeploy redeploy on every push. Workflow: Bolt → Download → push to GitHub → VibeDeploy redeploys.
What about server-side or API routes from Bolt?expand_more
Bolt's default templates are SPA-shaped. If your project uses an external API (OpenAI, Supabase, etc.) those run as fetch calls from the browser, which works on any static host including VibeDeploy.
How does this compare to deploying via Bolt's built-in Netlify integration?expand_more
Bolt's built-in deploy goes to Netlify (US infrastructure). VibeDeploy is the EU equivalent, with flat pricing and no Netlify-style bandwidth metering. Same deploy speed.
