Running AI-built sites in Europe
Everything we learn operating AI-generated sites on sovereign European infrastructure ends up here: publishing workflows for ChatGPT, Claude and coding agents, answers to data-residency and GDPR questions, and the occasional platform engineering deep dive.
EU-Hosted AI Models and EU-Hosted Websites: Two Layers
EU-hosted AI models answer where the model runs. A second question decides where the site it builds is served. This guide keeps the two layers apart.
EU Staging, Snapshots and Rollbacks for AI-Built Sites
How staging environments, per-deploy snapshots and one-action rollback work on EU infrastructure, and why they make agent-driven editing of AI sites safe.
Data Residency for AI Websites in the EU: What Sits Where
Residency is a physical question: which bytes live on which machine. A follow-the-data map of an AI-built site and how to verify where everything sits.
v0 and Bolt output, shipped to production in Europe
What v0 and Bolt actually hand you, how each output becomes a static build, and what turning that build into a production site on EU infrastructure involves.
The EU AI Act and your AI-built website
If an AI wrote your marketing site, which parts of the AI Act reach you? The risk tiers, the Article 50 transparency rules, the deadlines and the myths.
Choosing an EU hosting provider for AI websites
Which jurisdiction, which contract, which processor: four criteria and the written questions that separate real EU hosting from an EU-flavoured checkbox.
Data sovereignty for AI-built websites
What data sovereignty means for an AI-generated site, which layers of the stack carry jurisdiction, and how to keep all of them inside the EU.
ChatGPT or Claude chat to a live European site
The site exists in a chat window; a real domain is the unfinished step. Two handoffs, the deploy guide and MCP, take a chat-built site live on EU hosting.
AI-generated frontends to production in the EU
Staging, snapshots, forms and analytics are the production layer an AI cannot write. Why a deploy target for AI frontends is a workflow decision.
