How to host your Lovable website
Lovable generates a React/Vite app. To host it anywhere of your own you build it to static files first, then publish that output. SiteDrop takes the build folder and gives you a live link.

- In Lovable, export or download your project code (or connect GitHub and download the repo).
- On your computer run npm install, then npm run build, to produce the static output folder (usually dist).
- Zip the contents of the dist folder — index.html must be at the top level of the zip.
- Upload the zip to SiteDrop.
Lovable hosting — FAQ
Why do I need to run a build first?
Lovable apps are React projects, not plain HTML. The build step turns them into the static files browsers can serve. Once you have the dist folder, hosting it is just a zip upload.
I don't want to touch the command line at all — options?
If your project is purely static once built, ask Lovable (or any AI assistant) to produce a single built/static version, then zip and upload that. Anything dynamic that needs a server isn't a fit for static hosting.
