VibeDeploy vs Lovable hosting
Lovable's built-in hosting is the fastest path from prompt to URL. VibeDeploy is the production layer when you outgrow that: custom domains, EU compliance, one-click restore of earlier deploys, and a deploy workflow that survives the project leaving Lovable.

Common questions
Should I host on Lovable directly or move to VibeDeploy?expand_more
Stay on Lovable while you're still iterating heavily and the lovable.app URL is fine. Move to VibeDeploy when you need a custom domain, when EU residency matters for the customer, or when you want the project to outlive your Lovable subscription.
How do I migrate?expand_more
Sync the project to GitHub from Lovable (Project settings > Git > GitHub; Git sync works on every Lovable plan, the codebase download needs a paid one). In VibeDeploy, create a site from GitHub so every push builds and deploys, or build locally with npm run build and upload the dist folder. Projects on TanStack Start, Lovable's default for new projects since 13 May 2026, render on a server and run as a container next to the site instead. Then attach your domain.
Can I keep Lovable for AI edits but VibeDeploy for hosting?expand_more
Yes. That's the most common pattern for projects that build to static files: iterate in Lovable, push to GitHub, and VibeDeploy redeploys on every commit. A TanStack Start project, Lovable's default since 13 May 2026, needs its server running, so it runs as a container next to the site instead.
Will my Lovable AI credits work on VibeDeploy?expand_more
No. Lovable AI generation and VibeDeploy hosting are separate services. We don't bundle AI credits; we host what your AI tool builds.
