Deploy guides

Deploy a Bolt.new app to Netlify

Built into Bolt — one click from Project settings.

Specific to Bolt.new + Netlify
  • In Bolt: Project settings → Domains & Hosting → Hosting Provider → Netlify → Publish.
  • A custom domain set up on Bolt hosting doesn't transfer; add it again in Netlify.
Need an always-on server?

Netlify doesn't run always-on servers. If your project has a long-running backend (websockets, bots, background jobs), use Railway or Render for that part.

Step by step

  1. Check your project type

    • Vite single-page app (most projects): vite.config.* in the project, build output dist/.
    • Framework with a server (e.g. Next.js, Astro SSR): next.config.* or an SSR adapter in the config.

  2. Get the code onto GitHub

    • Built-in: Project settings → Domains & Hosting → Hosting Provider → Netlify → Publish (custom domains don't carry over automatically).
    • Download the project as a .zip, or push it to GitHub, then import into any host.

  3. Create the project on Netlify

    In Netlify choose Add new project → Import an existing project, connect GitHub and pick your repository. Netlify detects Vite and fills in the build settings.

  4. Check the build settings

    For Vite: build command npm run build, publish directory dist. The publish directory is relative to the base directory.

    For Bolt.new: build command npm run build, output dist (Vite).

  5. Add environment variables before the first build

    In Netlify: Project configuration → Environment variables (add them before the first build). Copy these from Bolt.new:

    • VITE_SUPABASE_URL / VITE_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY (if using Supabase — names may differ; check your .env)

    Changed a value later? Rebuild. Vite bakes variables in at build time. Troubleshoot missing env vars

  6. Make page refreshes work (Vite / React Router single-page apps)

    public/_redirects (ends up in dist/_redirects) 
    /*  /index.html  200

    Server-rendered projects (TanStack Start, Next.js) don't need this. Netlify docs (opens in a new tab)

  7. Update login redirect URLs

    Add your new Netlify URL (and later your custom domain) to your auth provider's allowed URLs. In Supabase: Authentication → URL Configuration. Redirect troubleshooting · Check RLS before going live

  8. Add your domain

    Project → Domain management → Add a domain, then follow the DNS instructions (or delegate your domain to Netlify DNS). HTTPS is automatic.

What it will cost

Free tier Free: $0 forever — 300 credits/month. Paid from $9/mo: Personal: $9/month, 1,000 credits. Pro: $20/month, 3,000 credits, unlimited members. Checked 17 Oct 2026 on Netlify's pricing page (opens in a new tab).

  • Every production deploy costs credits, so frequent auto-deploys from an AI builder eat into the free 300.
