Hosting refers to where your website app instance is located. You can either use Makeswift’s default host or create your own custom host. You’ll choose which to use when logging into Makeswift for the first time or when creating a new site in a workspace.
Each site within a workspace can be with the default host or a custom one.
Makeswift offers free hosting, allowing you to start building without the need for setting up your own custom host. This lets you dive into the Makeswift builder and start using stock components.
You can still connect a custom domain with default hosting, but you may encounter limitations with other features.
Setting up a custom host gives you full flexibility with Makeswift. You can use features such as localization, custom breakpoints, and adding custom components.
For help setting up a custom host visit our developer docs.
