Netlify

Publish your web app to the internet with a live URL using Netlify.

Don't want to manage a Netlify account? You can publish to a live link in one click with GenVibe hosting instead, and connect a custom domain right from GenVibe on any paid plan. See Deploying your app.

Connect

From the deploy menu, connect your Netlify account and authorize GenVibe.

Deploy

Click deploy. GenVibe builds your app and publishes it to Netlify, then gives you a live URL you can share immediately. Re-deploying after changes keeps the same URL.

Add a custom domain in Netlify

Because your deployed app is a standard Netlify site, you add a domain through the Netlify dashboard:

1. Open your site in Netlify → Domain management (or Site configuration → Domain management).
2. Click Add a domain and enter your domain (e.g. yourbusiness.com). Netlify adds both yourbusiness.com and www.yourbusiness.com.
3. Point your domain's DNS at Netlify. You have two options:

   • Use Netlify DNS (easiest): follow Netlify's prompt to switch your domain's nameservers to the ones Netlify gives you, in your registrar's dashboard. Netlify then manages your DNS and SSL automatically.
   • Keep your current DNS: in your registrar, add the records Netlify shows — typically a CNAME for www pointing to your Netlify site (e.g. your-site.netlify.app), and for the root domain either an A record to Netlify's load balancer IP or an ALIAS/ANAME to your Netlify site (whichever your provider supports).
4. Save the DNS changes and wait for them to propagate (minutes to a few hours).
5. Back in Netlify, once the domain verifies, enable HTTPS — Netlify provisions a free Let's Encrypt certificate automatically.
6. Optionally set your primary domain (e.g. force www or the bare domain) under Domain management.

DNS changes can take up to 24–48 hours to fully propagate, though they're usually live within minutes. Netlify's dashboard shows the status of each domain and its SSL certificate.

For provider-specific steps, see Netlify's own guide: Netlify custom domains.

Troubleshooting deploys

• If a deploy fails, check that the app runs cleanly in the GenVibe preview first.
• Make sure any required environment variables (for example, Supabase keys) are set in your Netlify site settings.
