Host a Bolt.new export as a live URL.
Bolt built you an app inside StackBlitz. Download the project as a ZIP, drop it here, and it goes live at its own link on nudgehost.site.
Key points
- Export from Bolt.new (Download via the StackBlitz menu) and upload the ZIP; the app goes live at its own subdomain in seconds.
- Static builds run as-is; for source-only exports, run `npm install && npm run build` locally before zipping the dist folder.
- The recipient sees a normal URL and never sees Bolt or StackBlitz.
- Free plan handles exports up to 25MB unpacked, well above the size of most prototypes.
Bolt.new from StackBlitz is the AI builder that runs the whole development environment in your browser. You describe what you want, Bolt builds the project inside an in-browser Node container, and you can preview the result without leaving the tab. The challenge starts when you want to share the result outside StackBlitz. The default options are 'send the StackBlitz preview link', which exposes the project structure, or 'deploy via StackBlitz', which has its own friction.
Exporting and hosting on NudgeHost is the cleanest middle ground. Bolt lets you download the project as a ZIP through the StackBlitz UI; that ZIP either contains a `dist` folder ready to host, or contains source you'll need to build locally. Either path ends with a folder of static files. You can publish a Vite or CRA build directly, or you can host a ZIP and NudgeHost serves the archive as a site at its own subdomain, with client-side routes working on direct visits. The recipient gets a clean link of the project's own on nudgehost.site (or your own domain on Pro), with no StackBlitz chrome anywhere in sight.
If you're staying inside the Bolt loop and iterating, the deploy-to-NudgeHost step takes about twenty seconds. Download the new ZIP, drag-and-drop, and the link refreshes. The URL itself doesn't change between uploads, so anyone with the link gets the latest version automatically. That's particularly useful when you're showing progress to a client and want to keep iterating without re-pasting links.
Free for ten active links; the Pro plan adds the higher ceilings. Bolt outputs vary in size depending on what was generated, but most prototypes compress to a few MB. A working Bolt prototype is strong proof of skill in a job hunt, so you can share your work with a recruiter with the live link. The dashboard lets you host a file alongside the Bolt app if you want to share supporting assets, and the same approach lets you publish a Lovable.dev app or host a v0 export for the other AI builders that work the same way; the guide to sharing a Lovable site covers that flow in full.

Where do I find the export option in Bolt?
In the StackBlitz interface that backs Bolt, look for the Download project option in the file menu. It produces a ZIP of the whole project.
Do I host the source or the built app?
The built app. If your export only has source, run `npm install && npm run build` locally and zip the dist or build folder.
Will the StackBlitz preview URL still work?
Yes, the StackBlitz preview is unaffected. Your NudgeHost URL is a separate, parallel link you control.
Can I update the app without changing the URL?
Yes. Re-export from Bolt, upload the new ZIP to the same NudgeHost link, and the URL stays the same.
