How to host your Manus website
Manus is an AI agent that can build a whole website for you, but to put it on a permanent link you control you export the generated files and publish them. SiteDrop takes those files and gives you a live URL — no Manus session required to keep it online.
Publish your site free →Get it live in 4 steps
- Have Manus build your site and produce the website files — either plain HTML/CSS/JS or a downloadable project.
- If Manus output a framework project rather than plain HTML, build it to static output first (a folder with index.html, commonly dist or build).
- Put the files in one folder with index.html at the top level and compress it to a .zip.
- Upload the .zip to SiteDrop for an instant live link.
What file types work
Manus can output plain HTML/CSS/JS or a framework project. Plain files upload as-is; a framework project needs its static build (dist or build) first. Images, fonts and client-side JavaScript all work; a running backend the agent stood up does not — export the static build for that.
What breaks — and how to fix it
- Manus gave me a temporary hosted preview I don't control.
Export the generated files and publish them with SiteDrop for a permanent link that doesn't depend on a Manus session — your URL stays put.
- Blank page after upload.
index.html must be at the top level of the zip. If Manus produced a framework project, build it to static output first and zip that folder.
- Manus built a full app with a backend.
Static hosting serves the front-end only. Export the static build for a marketing or portfolio site; keep anything needing a live server on a backend host.
SiteDrop vs just using Netlify
Netlify assumes a repo and a build step; a Manus export is often just finished files. Rather than set up git and a deploy config to host them, SiteDrop takes the zip and returns a permanent, owned link right away — with a custom domain on paid plans and no session dependency.
Manus hosting — FAQ
Doesn't Manus deploy the site itself?
Manus can spin up a temporary hosted preview, but for a permanent link you own (and a custom domain) you export the files and publish them with SiteDrop — your URL stays put and doesn't depend on a Manus session.
Manus built a full app with a backend — will it work?
SiteDrop hosts static sites, not running servers. For a marketing or portfolio site, export the static build and upload that; an app that needs a live backend isn't a fit for static hosting.
