Self-host your AI-built app without the headache.
SelfHostAI helps non-technical founders turn AI-generated apps into real deployments with step-by-step hosting guides, Nginx configs, SSL setup, and plain-English troubleshooting.
Deployment snapshot
What a beginner-friendly production plan looks like.
Customer Portal
Next.js app on `app.selfhostai.xyz`
Trustworthy by default
Outputs are copy-paste ready and explain why each server step matters.
Practical tooling
Build commands, PM2 process names, Nginx files, and SSL steps in one place.
A simple path from unfinished prompt app to stable deployment.
The app translates fuzzy AI-generated project details into a deployment guide a beginner can actually follow.
Describe your app
Tell SelfHostAI what framework you used, which domain you want, and what command starts the project.
Generate your hosting plan
Get an Ubuntu, PM2, Nginx, and SSL checklist tailored to your app instead of generic docs.
Launch with confidence
Copy the commands, follow the explanations, and fix common errors before they take your app offline.
AI can generate the app, but it usually does not generate ownership.
Most people do not need more code. They need clarity around ports, domains, process managers, and production-safe defaults.
The AI built it, but never explained it
Generated apps often work once, then fall apart when you need environment variables, ports, or deployment commands.
Credits ran out mid-project
You end up with a half-finished codebase and no clear path to ship it or keep it alive on your own server.
Production errors feel opaque
Terms like reverse proxy, build output, or SSL certs can block a launch even when the app itself is fine.
Built for the app shapes AI tools generate most often.
Start with a framework-aware guide instead of generic server tutorials.
Next.js apps
App Router, API routes, server-rendered frontends
React SPAs
Vite or CRA-style frontends behind Nginx
Node services
Express, Fastify, websockets, worker processes
Flask and Laravel
Basic deployment mapping even when the app was AI-generated
Static sites
Simple hosting with redirects, domains, and SSL
Pay once to unlock SelfHostAI, then choose bigger help when the project gets bigger.
The base toolkit is $5.99. Support tiers scale up when the codebase is too large or too messy for a pure DIY deployment.
SelfHostAI Access
One-time paywall unlock for the dashboard, generators, and deployment toolkit.
Project Help Tiers
Support packages scaled by project size when self-serve access is not enough.
SelfHostAI Access
Unlock the toolkit
One-time access to the deployment workspace, generators, and checklists for people who mostly need a calm path to self-hosting.
Best for
DIY builders
Small Project Help
Single-service rescue
For a straightforward Next.js, React, Node, Flask, Laravel, or static app that mostly needs one production push and a few fixes.
Best for
Small app
Growth Project Help
Full-stack deployment help
For full-stack apps with auth, env vars, database wiring, or production build issues that need more than a quick fix.
Best for
Medium app
Rescue Project Help
Inherited or messy app rescue
For bigger or more chaotic codebases where the original AI build is hard to understand and the production path is risky.
Best for
Large / inherited app
Common questions from people shipping their first self-hosted app.
Every answer is written for someone who is comfortable copying commands, but not comfortable debugging a server from scratch.
What does self-host your vibe-coded app mean?
It means taking an app that was mostly generated with AI and putting it on your own server so you control the code, domain, and uptime.
Do I need to understand DevOps first?
No. SelfHostAI explains each step in plain English and gives commands you can copy into your Ubuntu VPS.
Will this deploy the app automatically?
This MVP generates deployment plans, configs, and guides. It is designed to remove guesswork before full automation is added.
Can I use this for a non-Next.js project?
Yes. The app includes starter paths for React, Node, Flask, Laravel, and static sites.
