You Built Something Amazing...

But nobody can see it because it's trapped on your machine. Sound familiar?

๐Ÿ˜…

The localhost Embarrassment

"Check out my app!" *sends localhost:3000* ... awkward silence. They can't access it. You look like you don't know what you're doing.

๐Ÿค”

"Works on My Machine"

Your AI tool built something perfect locally, but now you're stuck. Deploy where? How? What's DNS? What's a server? Total confusion.

๐Ÿ˜ฐ

Portfolio Paralysis

You want to show off your projects to recruiters or clients, but they're all localhost links. No live demos = no credibility.

โฐ

Overwhelmed by Options

Vercel? Netlify? AWS? DigitalOcean? Heroku? Every tutorial assumes you already know what you're doing. You just want the simplest path.

๐Ÿ’ธ

Fear of Breaking Things

One wrong command and you're locked out, or worse โ€” a surprise $500 AWS bill. You need a safe, beginner-friendly path.

๐Ÿšซ

Can't Share Your Work

You want feedback on Twitter, from friends, from potential users. But without a live link, you're invisible. Your work stays hidden.

3 Proven Paths to Choose From

Pick the route that matches your tech stack and comfort level

1

Vercel / Netlify

EASIEST - RECOMMENDED FOR BEGINNERS

Perfect for React, Next.js, Vue, or any frontend project. They handle hosting + SSL automatically. Just connect your GitHub repo and you're live.

  • Push code to GitHub โ†’ auto-deploys on every update
  • Free SSL certificate (HTTPS) included automatically
  • Custom domain setup in 5 minutes with visual guides
  • Cost: $10-15/year (just the domain) โ€” hosting is FREE
2

Cloudflare + Any Hosting

MOST FLEXIBLE - BEST PERFORMANCE

Works with any project. Cloudflare's DNS is the fastest globally + free SSL + DDoS protection. Professional-grade setup.

  • Buy domain on Namecheap โ†’ point DNS to Cloudflare
  • One-click SSL setup (automatic HTTPS)
  • Works with Vercel, Railway, your own VPS, anything
  • Cost: $10-15/year (domain) + hosting varies (many free options)
3

All-in-One Hosting

BEST FOR WORDPRESS / PHP

Hostinger or Bluehost bundle domain + hosting + email in one place. Simple dashboard, one bill, less flexibility.

  • Domain often FREE in first year with hosting
  • Upload files via cPanel (visual interface)
  • SSL auto-enabled โ€” no technical setup
  • Cost: $36-60/year (includes domain + hosting + SSL)

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before downloading

I've never deployed anything before - will this work for me? +
Absolutely yes. This guide is specifically designed for first-time deployers. We explain everything in plain English: what localhost means, what DNS is, why you need a domain. If you can follow step-by-step instructions, you can deploy your app. The Vercel/Netlify path takes under 10 minutes and requires zero server knowledge.
Does this work with apps built using Claude, Cursor, v0, etc? +
Yes - that's exactly who it's for. If you built something with an AI coding tool and it works on localhost, this guide shows you how to make it accessible to the world. Works with React, Next.js, Vue, plain HTML/CSS, Node.js apps, WordPress, and more. We cover multiple deployment options to match your tech stack.
How much will it cost to deploy my app? +
As low as $10-15/year (just the domain). The guide includes exact pricing for each path. Vercel and Netlify offer generous free tiers โ€” you only pay for the domain name. Cloudflare DNS is 100% free. All-in-one hosting (Hostinger) runs ~$36-60/year with domain included. No hidden fees, no surprise bills.
What if I get stuck or something doesn't work? +
The guide includes a troubleshooting checklist covering 95% of common issues: DNS not propagating, SSL errors, 404 pages, nameserver confusion. We also link to DNS checker tools and explain how to verify each step worked correctly. Plus, you can always check the full deployment guide (mentioned at the end) for deeper troubleshooting.
Why is this free? What's the catch? +
No catch. This is a 7-page quick-start guide to help you go from localhost to live fast. It's part of a larger ecosystem of resources at LocalSysAdmin. If you want the full 50+ page deployment guide with video walkthroughs, business email setup, and advanced DNS strategies, that's available separately ($15). But this free guide is complete on its own โ€” you can deploy successfully without buying anything else.
What format is the guide? Can I access it on mobile? +
It's a PDF (approximately 1 MB, 7 pages) that works on any device โ€” laptop, tablet, smartphone. Fully searchable and print-friendly if you prefer physical copies. You get instant download after clicking the button โ€” no waiting, no email signup required. Save it to your cloud storage and access it wherever you work.
