Move a project from Vercel
Pick the project; settings, environment variables, domains, redirects and cron jobs come with it. Check it on a preview URL, then switch DNS.
Documentation
Ship on Hostingsurge. Start with the task in front of you.
Quick starts for the common jobs, where each task lives in the dashboard and the CLI, and the references your tools and AI assistants read.
Quick starts
Each one takes a few minutes and ends with something live on a preview URL or your own domain.
Deploy from Git
Import a repository from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or any Git host. Every push builds and deploys; roll back with one click.
Create a database
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis or MongoDB on the private network, attached to a project as an environment variable.
Add your domain
Add the domain to a project, set the DNS records exactly as shown, and the certificate is issued automatically.
Launch or move WordPress
Create a managed WordPress site, or bring one in from a backup plugin, cPanel or SFTP.
Connect your AI
Add Hostingsurge to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code over MCP and sign in — your assistant can deploy and debug for you.
From the terminal
The CLI covers the same tasks as the dashboard. Add --json to any command for scripts, CI and AI agents.
# Install and sign in npm i -g https://hostingsurge.com/cli/hostingsurge.tgz hostingsurge login # Deploy the current directory to production hostingsurge link hostingsurge deploy --prod # Move a Vercel project over hostingsurge import vercel my-app # Follow the runtime logs hostingsurge logs --follow
