Deploy Your Lovable App to a Custom Domain
Deploy your Lovable app to a custom domain, the three fixes that matter.
AI app launch
From Generated to Live, on Your Own Domain
AI builders generate working apps that stall at the deployment cliff: DNS, environment variables, database wiring, and SSL. We fix the same three or four things on almost every project, usually within a week.
TL;DR
Launch Essentials ($950 fixed) wires up your custom domain, DNS, SSL, hosting, environment variables, and database, and verifies the deploy. Production Hardening ($2,950 fixed) adds auth debugging, a security pass, and baseline SEO for apps taking real users, payments, or personal data.
The gaps every AI builder leaves
Production configuration (domains, DNS, environment variables), security (exposed keys, permissive database rules), an SEO baseline the builder never generated, observability, and scale ceilings on sandbox-tier databases. The same five gaps repeat on almost every project, tool-agnostic.
When hardening is not optional
If real customers, payments, or personal data touch the app, launch is the halfway point. Auth debugging, a security pass, and baseline SEO live in Production Hardening at $2,950 fixed, and everything hands off to a retainer afterward on the Website Management page.
The launch checklist
The same checklist we run against every AI-generated app before it goes live:
text
DNS: domain resolves to the production host
Supabase Site URL: production domain added
Supabase Redirect URLs: production domain added
Environment variables: every preview key set on production
SSL: certificate issued and verified from multiple resolversMost "it worked in the sandbox and broke on my domain" tickets are one line on this list.
Launch paths
v0 & Bolt.new to Production
v0 and Bolt.new to production: exports, environment variables, and the fail-to-fetch fix.

Launch questions
Are AI-built apps production ready by default?
No. They run, which is different: security, SEO, error handling, and scale are unaddressed until someone addresses them.
What does launch support cost?
Launch Essentials $950 fixed, Production Hardening $2,950 fixed, both published. Scaling beyond the sandbox is quoted by traffic and data model.
Who maintains the app after launch?
Predictable monthly retainers that keep your website updated, secure, backed up, and monitored, on any platform, including custom PHP/CodeIgniter applications.
Which builders do you support?
Lovable, v0, Bolt, and Replit. All four export code, which is the property that matters: exported code can be owned, and owned code can be operated.
