Guide: Self-Hosting Your Webflow Site to Save Money

After exporting your Webflow site, the next critical step is choosing the right hosting solution. Whether you want to host it yourself or use a managed option, ExFlow.site offers everything you need to get your static site online with speed and flexibility.

This guide walks you through how to host an exported Webflow site using ExFlow, covering manual and automatic options — including Git, S3, FTP, and built-in ExFlow hosting with custom domain support.

Why Host Outside of Webflow?

• Save money by avoiding high Webflow hosting fees
• Complete freedom over your infrastructure and tech stack
• Advanced features like custom scripts, CDNs, or backend logic

Option 1: Use ExFlow’s Built-In Hosting

The easiest path is to let ExFlow handle hosting for you. When exporting your site, simply choose the hosting option. ExFlow hosts your files instantly, and you can:

• Enjoy unlimited bandwidth
• Link a custom domain
• Manage everything in one place

Option 2: Sync to Git

For developers and teams using version control, Git is a great option. ExFlow can automatically push your exported site to a GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository. From there, deploy it using:

• GitHub Pages
• Netlify
• Vercel

Option 3: Sync to Amazon S3

Want full control? Hosting via AWS S3 is reliable and cost-effective. ExFlow can auto-sync your export to an S3 bucket. Then:

1. Enable static website hosting in the bucket settings
2. Set index.html as the default document
3. Link your domain via Route 53 or another DNS provider

Option 4: FTP Sync to Your Own Server

If you have your own web hosting (like cPanel or Plesk), ExFlow lets you upload directly via FTP. Just input your server credentials and destination folder, and your site is deployed automatically.

Custom Domain Setup

ExFlow allows easy linking of custom domains, whether you host on ExFlow or elsewhere. Update your DNS settings with an A record or CNAME pointing to your hosting server, and you’re set.

Summary: Hosting Made Easy

ExFlow.site doesn’t just export your Webflow site — it helps you host it effortlessly. Whether you choose Git, S3, FTP, or ExFlow’s own hosting, your content remains yours, and your options stay open.
