VibeDeploy vs Lovable hosting
Lovable's bundled hosting is the right default while you iterate. It stops being right when the project needs its own domain, EU jurisdiction and independence from the tool that built it. VibeDeploy is that production layer: the export runs on European infrastructure and keeps running whatever happens to your Lovable subscription.

When Lovable hosting is the better pick
- arrow_forwardYou're building inside Lovable and want zero-setup hosting alongside the build flow
- arrow_forwardSpeed of iteration matters more than custom domain or EU residency
- arrow_forwardYou're on the Lovable free plan and the lovable.app subdomain is fine
When VibeDeploy wins
- check_circleThe project needs a real domain instead of a generated lovable.app URL
- check_circleHosting and visitor data must sit under EU jurisdiction
- check_circleThe site must survive if the Lovable subscription ends
- check_circleHosting costs should be a flat line, not bundled with AI credit consumption
- check_circleDeploys should flow from GitHub or an MCP agent, not only from inside one builder
Common questions
Should I host on Lovable directly or move to VibeDeploy?expand_more
Stay on Lovable while you're still iterating heavily and the lovable.app URL is fine. Move to VibeDeploy when you need a custom domain, when EU residency matters for the customer, or when you want the project to outlive your Lovable subscription.
How do I migrate?expand_more
Export the Lovable project (download or push to GitHub), build it locally with npm run build, then drag the dist folder to VibeDeploy. Custom domain follows. Total time: under 10 minutes.
Can I keep Lovable for AI edits but VibeDeploy for hosting?expand_more
Yes. That's the most common pattern. Iterate in Lovable, push to GitHub, VibeDeploy redeploys on every commit. Best of both.
Will my Lovable AI credits work on VibeDeploy?expand_more
No. Lovable AI generation and VibeDeploy hosting are separate services. We don't bundle AI credits; we host what your AI tool builds.
