Deploy Bolt.new

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 can publish your project itself, for free, at a *.bolt.host address. Your own domain is where that stops: attaching one requires a paid Bolt plan, and the site stays inside Bolt's hosting on US-led infrastructure. Exporting the build puts the domain, the jurisdiction and the hosting bill back on your own terms.

How to deploy a Bolt.new site

  1. 1

    Build your app in Bolt.new

    Iterate normally inside StackBlitz. Once it works in the preview, you're ready to ship.

  2. 2

    Export the project

    In the top left of Bolt, click the project title, then Export > Download. You get a ZIP containing the full source. Unzip it locally.

  3. 3

    Build the production output

    Most Bolt projects use Vite. Run npm install and npm run build to produce the dist folder.

    npm install
    npm run build
  4. 4

    Sign up and create a site on VibeDeploy

    The 14-day free trial needs no credit card and includes one site on your own domain, with SSL and backups. From the dashboard, choose New Site and upload the dist folder.

  5. 5

    Point your domain at VibeDeploy

    Add a CNAME record to your DNS (or use a vibedeploy.be subdomain for free). SSL provisions automatically within 60 seconds.

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 the project title in the top left, then Export > Download, 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

Yes. Bolt connects to a GitHub repository natively and syncs your commits automatically, so the download step drops out of the loop entirely. Connect that same repository to VibeDeploy and every commit Bolt pushes triggers a redeploy. Workflow: Bolt → 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 publishing from Bolt directly?expand_more

Bolt publishes for free to a *.bolt.host address, and it also integrates with Netlify. Both keep you on US-led infrastructure, and with Bolt's own hosting a custom domain needs a paid Bolt plan. VibeDeploy is the EU equivalent: Belgian hosting, custom domain and SSL included on every plan, flat pricing with no bandwidth metering. Same deploy speed.
