What is hosting?

Hosting simply means putting your project on the internet so other people can visit it as a website. When you “publish” a project, Bolt takes the files you’ve created and makes them available at a live web address anyone can open in their browser. Bolt hosting lets you publish your project to a live URL in seconds, with a free .bolt.host included. No third-party account is required: Bolt handles everything.

Who can use Bolt hosting?

All Bolt users, both Free and Pro, can publish their projects to a .bolt.host domain, although custom domains are only available for Pro users.
