What you get

Your React app, built and served.
On infrastructure you control.

Selfhost.dev detects your React project from GitHub, runs your build (Vite, Create React App, or any static build), and serves the output on a dedicated server. Point a domain, and every push rebuilds and ships automatically. Pair it with a backend service or a database in the same project when you need one.

Static build (auto-detected), or Nixpacks

Deploy in 5 steps

From zero to live.
No server to set up.

From repo to a live URL in a few steps. Selfhost.dev builds the bundle and serves it for you.

1

Create a Project

Give it a name and Selfhost.dev provisions a dedicated server for you in a couple of minutes.

2

Add your GitHub repo

Connect the GitHub App or paste a public repo URL and pick a branch. Selfhost.dev auto-detects the build (Vite, Create React App, or static).

3

Set build-time variables

Add your VITE_ or REACT_APP_ variables (such as the API base URL), or paste a .env to import them in bulk.

4

Point your domain

Use the default wildcard subdomain on selfhost.dev, or add your own: set the DNS records, verify, and HTTPS goes live automatically.

5

Deploy

Selfhost.dev builds the bundle and serves it. Every push redeploys, with PR preview environments and one-click rollback.

Which one

Frontend and backend together

A React SPA often needs an API. Deploy your backend (Node, Python, Go, or a Dockerfile) and your database into the same project, so your whole app lives in one place instead of stitched across platforms.
