Host your website yourself
Your website is yours. Here is how to take it anywhere: on your own Cloudflare account, at a Swiss host, or at any host that serves files.
1. Download it
With Plus or Studio, open your panel, go to Details and press “Download your website (.zip)”. You get one folder with your pages, styles, fonts and photos, and a README.
Open index.html in the folder: your website appears in your browser, exactly as it is online.
2. On your own Cloudflare account (free)
Sign in to Cloudflare (or create a free account) and open Workers & Pages. Create a new site from your own files and upload the folder.
Cloudflare gives it an address at once. Add your own domain in the site’s settings under custom domains.
Prefer not to do it yourself? Ask in your panel (Grow → Your own Cloudflare): we move it to your account with you, for free.
3. At a Swiss host (Infomaniak, Hostpoint, Cyon and others)
In your hosting dashboard, open the file manager (or connect by SFTP) and upload everything inside the folder into the website’s main folder (often called web, www or public_html).
Your website is then online on the domain connected to that hosting.
4. Anywhere else
Any host that serves plain files works: no database, no PHP, nothing to install. Upload the folder’s contents to the website’s main folder.
Good to know
The contact or reservation form sends its requests through Pick the site, so it can’t send from another host. Make sure your phone and email are filled in (Details in your panel): they show on the page, so people can still reach you.
After a change in your panel, download again and upload the new folder.
