To host an AI-generated website you have three realistic options: a static host (fast but developer-shaped, and your forms don’t work), a page builder (friendly but it makes you rebuild the site from scratch), or a platform like Yetty that serves your AI’s files exactly as built and adds hosting, editing, forms and SEO around them. For a non-developer with a finished AI-built site, the third option is the only one that doesn’t cost you either the design or your weekend.

Here’s the honest version of that comparison - including where each option genuinely shines.

Option 1: static hosts (Netlify, GitHub Pages, Vercel)

These are excellent tools built for developers, and if you are one, they’re great. Drag your folder in and the site is live and fast. But for an amateur the gaps show up on day two:

  • Your contact form is decorative. Static hosts serve files; they don’t receive messages. Wiring a form means a third-party service, API keys and more glue.
  • Editing means editing code. Fixing a typo is: find the file, edit HTML, re-upload or push to git. There’s no "just change the headline" button.
  • You’re the webmaster now. Redirects, sitemaps, SEO tags, analytics - all yours to configure, in YAML or dashboards designed for engineers.

Option 2: page builders (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress)

Builders solve the editing problem beautifully - but they can’t host your files. They host their pages. To move an AI-built site into a builder you rebuild it: recreate every section in their editor, re-pick fonts, re-place images, and accept "pretty close" as the result. The design your AI crafted - the thing you already iterated to perfection in chat - gets thrown away and approximated. For a brand-new site that’s fine; for a finished one it’s a tax.

Option 3: byte-true hosting that adds the missing layer

The third path is to keep your files exactly as the AI wrote them and add the platform around them. That’s what Yetty does:

  • Byte-true serving - your site ships byte-for-byte as built. Free conversion, live on a yetty.site address in minutes, custom domain when you want it.
  • Editable after, without code - your real content becomes editable cards and a visual editor. Change a word, swap an image; the design doesn’t break.
  • Forms that actually work - the contact form your AI already wrote gets wired into a leads inbox. No third-party form service to configure.
  • Nothing ever lost - every update is a version with one-click rollback.
  • Your AI stays in control - over MCP, the same Claude or Cursor session that built the site can edit it live, check analytics and read leads. That’s the part no other host has.

The honest caveat

Yetty hosts static and server-rendered HTML sites - which is what AI chat tools produce when you ask for a website. If your AI built a React or Vue application (a single-page app that renders itself in JavaScript), that’s a different animal and belongs on a developer platform like Vercel. Static isn’t a limitation for business sites, portfolios and landing pages - it’s why they load instantly and never break at 2am. If you haven’t built the site yet, ask your AI for static HTML from the start: here’s how to build a website with Claude the right way, and if your site lives in an editor session, how to take a Cursor-built site to production.

The short version: don’t become a developer, and don’t rebuild what’s already built. See how Yetty takes your files from folder to live site - free to start, minutes not migrations.

FAQ

Where can I host a website made by AI for free?

Yetty converts an AI-built site for free and publishes it on a free yetty.site address with SSL. Static hosts like GitHub Pages are also free but leave forms, editing and SEO to you.

Can I edit an AI-generated website after hosting it?

On a plain static host, only by editing code. On Yetty the site becomes an editable CMS - your text and images turn into cards you can change without breaking the design.

Do contact forms work on AI-generated websites?

Not on ordinary static hosts - the form has nowhere to send its messages. Yetty wires the forms your AI already wrote into a leads inbox, so enquiries land somewhere you’ll see them.
