How to host an AI-generated website

Built your site with Lovable, Bolt, v0, ChatGPT or Claude? Where to host it, which folder to drop, and the two settings that trip people up.

If an AI tool built your site, putting it online comes down to two questions: which folder do you drop, and does the site need single-page app mode. The page for your tool answers both.

Boltthe project’s codethe folder its build createsusually
v0the project’s codedepends on the projectdepends on the project
ChatGPT or Claudean HTML filethe folder you save index.html inno

Whatever the tool, the folder you drop must have index.html at its top level — not inside another folder. Deploy from the dashboard shows how to check.

Start with the prompt

Before the tool builds anything — or before you publish something it already built — paste the One9x prompt. It tells the tool to make plain static files with index.html at the top, to wire any form to your site’s built-in form service, and to list what you need to replace before going live. It works with every tool on this page.

Code, or a finished site?

ChatGPT and Claude usually hand you an HTML file, and an HTML file is already a finished page: save it and drop it.

Lovable, Bolt and v0 give you the code for a project. A browser can’t open that code directly — it has to be turned into a finished site first, which is one command on your own computer (a build). The build creates a new folder with index.html in it, and that new folder is the one you drop. Each tool’s page has the exact steps.

Add a contact form

Most generated sites come with a contact form that posts nowhere. Every site on One9x has a form service built in — every plan includes it, no database or email service to connect. Define the form under the dashboard’s Widgets → Forms, then hand the HTML it generates back to your AI tool. Widgets has the steps and a sample prompt.

Single-page app mode

Many sites made with these tools have several pages — /about, /pricing — but only one real HTML file, with the pages drawn in the browser. Online, that works when a visitor clicks a link and fails when they open /about directly or refresh on it: they get a “not found” page.

Single-page app mode fixes that. In the dashboard, when you review an upload, select Deploy options at the top of the file list and choose Single-page app under Unknown paths. It is part of each upload, so choose it again each time you drop a new version.

SPA mode & error pages has the details, including the CLI flag.

Built something with a framework you chose yourself? Frameworks has a page for each.
