Publishing
Deploy your project to *.xaio.app with one click.
One-Click Publishing
Click Publish in the toolbar to deploy your project live. Your site is available at yourname.xaio.app with automatic HTTPS.
How Publishing Works
Website projects:
1. Dependencies are installed (npm install)
2. Production build is created (Vite)
3. Static files are uploaded to a global CDN
4. Site is live within seconds
Web App projects:
1. Frontend is built and deployed to CDN
2. Backend is packaged and deployed as a managed service
3. Database migrations run automatically (if PostgreSQL is enabled)
4. API is available at yourname.xaio.app/api/
Choosing a Subdomain
On first publish, choose your subdomain. It stays the same for all future updates. Subdomains must be unique across all XAIO users.
Updating Your Site
Click Publish again after making changes. Only changed files are updated — the process takes just a few seconds. The previous version is replaced immediately.
XAIO Cloud vs XAIO Private
- XAIO Cloud — Managed hosting on *.xaio.app (default)
- XAIO Private — Self-hosted option for teams that need to run on their own infrastructure
SEO & Performance
The AI generates proper HTML structure for search engines:
- Semantic HTML tags (header, main, footer, nav)
- Meta tags and Open Graph tags
- Responsive images with lazy loading
- Fast loading with code splitting and CDN delivery
Build Errors
If the build fails during publish, XAIO automatically attempts to fix the error using AI (up to 2 retries). If it still fails, you see the error message and can ask the AI to fix it in the chat.
