Host Your Lovable, Bolt or Any Other Vibe-Coded Website on Hostinger

Most vibe coding tools let you generate a website for free using a limited number of prompts (for example, Lovable has only 5 free prompts). However, publishing that website on your own custom domain usually requires a paid plan, with combined hosting and domain costs often starting at $25 per month + extra usage-based costs.

With Hostinger, you can launch your vibe-coded website for up to 9× less and know exactly what your costs will be at the end of each month:

Flat monthly pricing with no usage-based or surprise fees
Support for up to 5 Node.js web apps on Business Shared Hosting or up to 10 Node.js web apps on Cloud Hosting
Free domain for 1 year when you choose a Business Shared Hosting plan for 12 months or longer
Full control over your website, code, and branding
Reliable Node.js hosting suitable for production websites

After building with Lovable or Bolt.new, users look for a way to host their app on a custom domain without upgrading to expensive plans. Hostinger is commonly used as a Vercel or Netlify alternative for Node.js and AI-generated websites.

This guide is for builders who have finished a project with vibe coding tools and want to launch it publicly on their own domain.

We’ll use Lovable as an example, but the same steps apply to any Node.js–based project generated by other vibe-coding platforms.

Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

A website created with Lovable (or another vibe coding tool)
A Hostinger Business Shared or Cloud Hosting plan
Your project either:
- Connected to a GitHub repository, or
- Downloaded as a .zip file

Step 1: Connect Your Lovable App to GitHub

If you want to deploy your website using GitHub (recommended), you first need to connect your Lovable project to a GitHub repository.

Step 1.1 – Open Your Project in Lovable

Step 1.2 – Connect to GitHub

In the project settings or top navigation (depending on vibe code tool interface), select Connect to GitHub or Export to GitHub.

Step 2: Make Sure You Have a Hostinger Hosting Plan

To host a Node.js (vibe coded) website, you need a Hostinger Business Shared or Cloud Hosting plan.

Keep in mind – even the Business plan allows you to run up to 5 Node.js web apps on one subscription – often cheaper than paying for a single custom domain on vibe-coding platforms.

Cloud Hosting plan is ideal if you plan to run multiple projects (up to 10 Node.js web apps), expect traffic spikes, or need more storage and performance headroom.

If You Don’t Have a Hosting Plan Yet

You can purchase a compatible hosting plan using the link below:

Once your purchase is complete, you can continue with the deployment steps below.

Option 1: Deploy a Vibe Coded Website From GitHub

This is the easiest and most flexible method, especially if you plan to update your website in the future. Using GitHub also means you fully own your code and can host it independently, without being locked into a specific vibe-coding platform or pricing tier.

Step 3 – Access the Node.js Web App Section

Log in to your Hostinger hPanel
Navigate to Websites
Click Add Website

Hostinger websites dashboard with Add website dropdown open and Hostinger Horizons selected

Step 4 – Choose GitHub Integration

Select Import Git Repository.

Step 8 – Configure Build Settings

Hostinger will automatically detect your framework and suggest build and start commands.

You can review or modify these settings if needed.

Step 9 – Deploy Your Website

Click Deploy to start building your application.

Your website will be deployed to a temporary subdomain, which you can later connect to a custom domain.

Option 2: Deploy a Vibe Coded Website by Uploading Files

If you prefer not to use GitHub, you can deploy your Vibe Coded project by uploading its files manually.

Step 3 – Download Your Project

Not all Vibe coding tools allow you to directly export website files. However, you can download your website files, after you’ve pushed them to GitHub repository.
