Publish to Other Hosting Providers

CoffeeCup doesn’t lock you in! You’re free to publish to any hosting provider.

The Export method generates a folder containing every file your website needs — HTML, CSS, JS, and every asset. That gives you the freedom to upload the site to your own hosting service, using any upload utility.

  1. Export to a folder.
  2. Use FTP or your hosting provider’s file manager to publish to your site.

Starting an export

Click the Export toolbar icon, or go to File → Export, to begin the export process.

Where the files go next

Site Designer produces the folder; getting it onto a server is a separate step, done with whatever upload tool your host expects — most commonly an FTP or SFTP client, or your host’s own upload panel. CoffeeCup’s own FTP utility for this is a separate app, not a feature built into Site Designer — see FTP publishing.
