Take Lovable output live on EU infrastructure
Lovable is a fast way to build; it should not dictate where you host. VibeDeploy runs the export on EU infrastructure with your own domain, git-triggered redeploys and snapshots, so the project outlives any single tool subscription.
Why VibeDeploy for Lovable
Shipping client work from a generated lovable.app subdomain on US infrastructure is a workflow dead end: no domain ownership, no EU jurisdiction, hosting welded to the builder. Moving the export to VibeDeploy separates the two concerns. Lovable stays your editor; Europe becomes your production environment.
Under EU jurisdiction
Serving happens from EU data centres with a DPA on every paid plan. For European clients and GDPR-sensitive projects, the data path is short and inspectable.
Your domain, decoupled from the builder
Attach any domain with automatic SSL on every plan. If you ever stop paying for Lovable, the site keeps running, because the hosting was never Lovable's.
Redeploys match your iteration speed
Push from Lovable to GitHub and every commit redeploys, or let an MCP-connected agent publish updates. Snapshots make a bad regeneration a one-click rollback.
The Lovable to production workflow
- 1
Get the project out of Lovable
Lovable offers two exits and both work here. The GitHub icon pushes the project to a repository of yours; the download option hands you a ZIP of the build output. Pick the repo route if you plan to keep iterating, the ZIP if you just want it live today.
- 2
Open a VibeDeploy trial
An account at vibedeploy.eu starts a 14-day trial of the full Maker plan; no credit card is asked for. Custom domains, automatic SSL and EU hosting are all inside the trial, and paid plans begin at €15 per month once it ends.
- 3
Publish the export
Choose New Site in the dashboard. Dropping the ZIP publishes it once; connecting the GitHub repository instead means every future push from Lovable rebuilds and redeploys the site on its own.
- 4
Move it onto your own domain
Add the domain under site settings. DNS verification and the Let's Encrypt certificate are handled for you, and the switch typically completes in under a minute.
- 5
Keep the Lovable loop running
With the GitHub connection in place, regenerating in Lovable and pushing is the entire release process. Alternatively, export your deploy guide from the dashboard and hand it to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, so the assistant redeploys through the API after each edit.

Common questions about deploying Lovable
Will server-side code from a Lovable project run on VibeDeploy?expand_more
The platform is tuned for static and SPA output, which is what most Lovable projects compile to by default, so they deploy without changes. Supabase calls and other external APIs are made from the visitor's browser and keep working exactly as before.
What happens to my deploy when Lovable regenerates the project?expand_more
Nothing breaks: every deploy is an independent static snapshot. On paid plans earlier versions stay restorable for up to 30 days, so recovering from a regeneration you dislike is a single rollback click.
Where does this sit relative to hosting on Vercel?expand_more
Hosting here is EU-only, which is the deciding factor for European founders who care about GDPR or US-data exposure. The bill is also a flat per-plan figure rather than per-seat or per-bandwidth line items.
Does a domain bought through Lovable work here?expand_more
It does. Point a CNAME or A record at VibeDeploy's edge IPs, register the domain in your site settings, and the SSL certificate provisions on its own.
Who handles the SSL certificate for the custom domain?expand_more
The platform does, end to end. Registering your domain in site settings triggers a Let's Encrypt certificate that installs and renews itself; once DNS resolves, HTTPS is typically live inside a minute. No certificate purchase, no manual renewal, ever.
What does exporting a Lovable project actually involve?expand_more
Either push it to GitHub from the editor's GitHub icon (the durable route: subsequent Lovable edits arrive as pushes and can redeploy automatically), or download the ZIP. Under the hood it is a normal Vite + React codebase, deployable here from the repo or as built output.
Can the site live on my own domain while I keep editing in Lovable?expand_more
Yes, that split is the point: Lovable stays your editor, European infrastructure becomes your host. Your domain, EU data residency and snapshots come from the hosting side; the GitHub loop keeps every Lovable iteration flowing to production.
Is a custom domain possible while I stay on Lovable's free tier?expand_more
Not through Lovable itself: its free tier keeps every project on the lovable.app subdomain and reserves custom domains for paid plans. Moving the export sidesteps that limit. Deploy the GitHub export on VibeDeploy, attach your own domain with an automatically renewing SSL certificate, and keep editing in Lovable for free.
Is there EU hosting for Lovable sites?expand_more
Yes, by separating the editor from the host. Lovable's own hosting runs on US infrastructure, and that cannot be changed from inside Lovable. Push the project to GitHub, deploy the export on VibeDeploy, and the live site is served from Belgian data centres under EU jurisdiction with a DPA on every paid plan. Editing in Lovable continues exactly as before.
