8 steps — also included in your AI Review report when relevant.
  1. 1

    Buy a domain

    Register a domain through any registrar (e.g. Namecheap, Cloudflare Registrar, Google Domains' successor). Typically $10-20/year.

  2. 2

    Choose a hosting target

    Pick a host that matches your stack — e.g. Vercel or Netlify for Next.js/static sites, or a VPS/container host for anything custom.

  3. 3

    Deploy a production build

    Connect your git repo to the host (or push a build artifact) and deploy the production build, not a dev server.

  4. 4

    Point the domain at your host

    Add the A/CNAME records your host provides in your domain registrar's DNS settings, then verify the domain in the host's dashboard.

  5. 5

    Confirm HTTPS/SSL is active

    Most hosts provision a free SSL certificate automatically once DNS is verified — confirm the site loads over https:// with no browser warning.

  6. 6

    Set production environment variables

    Move API keys, database URLs and other secrets into the host's environment-variable settings — never commit them to the repo.

  7. 7

    Add basic monitoring

    Set up uptime monitoring and error/crash logging so you find out about outages before users tell you.

  8. 8

    Submit your sitemap

    Submit your sitemap.xml to Google Search Console (and Bing Webmaster Tools) so search engines index the live site.
