Lovable hosting vs a European alternative
Lovable offers integrated hosting, paid-plan custom domains and a Europe region for its Cloud backend. VibeDeploy separates frontend hosting from the builder: your exported site runs in Belgium with its own hosting subscription. External backends keep their existing regions and terms.

When Lovable hosting is the better pick
- arrow_forwardYou're building inside Lovable and want zero-setup hosting alongside the build flow

- arrow_forwardYou're on the Lovable free plan and the lovable.app subdomain is fine
When VibeDeploy wins
- check_circleYou want to manage your domain and hosting independently of the builder
- check_circleThe exported frontend should be hosted in Belgium
- 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
Match the hosting to the project's stage. During heavy iteration, Lovable's bundled hosting removes friction and the generated URL costs you nothing. Once the project faces customers, three requirements tend to surface at once: a proper domain, EU jurisdiction, and a site that does not depend on any one subscription. That is the moment to move the hosting layer here.
How do I migrate?expand_more
Take the project out of Lovable via download or its GitHub push, produce the production build locally, and drop the dist folder into the VibeDeploy dashboard. Attach your domain afterwards. The whole exercise fits comfortably inside ten minutes.
Can I keep Lovable for AI edits but VibeDeploy for hosting?expand_more
That split is the most common setup we see, and it works well: Lovable stays the editing environment, commits flow to GitHub, and every push triggers a rebuild and redeploy on EU infrastructure. Each tool keeps doing what it is best at.
Will my Lovable AI credits work on VibeDeploy?expand_more
They cannot, because the services are orthogonal: Lovable sells AI generation, VibeDeploy sells hosting. Nothing here is credit-metered; whatever your AI tool produces gets hosted at a flat plan price.
