Welcome to ClodHost! In this tutorial, you'll create your first project and see it running live on the internet - all without writing any code yourself.
1 Sign Up for ClodHost
Head to clodhost.com and click the "Start Building" button. You can sign in with Google or use a magic link sent to your email.
During the beta, ClodHost is completely free - no credit card required.
2 Describe What You Want to Build
Once you're signed in, you'll see a simple prompt asking what you want to build. Just describe your idea in plain English. For example:
A personal portfolio website with my bio, a list of projects,
and a contact form that emails me when someone submits it.Be as specific as you want. The more details you provide, the closer Claude will get to your vision on the first try.
Don't worry about getting it perfect. You can always refine and iterate with Claude after the initial build.
3 Choose Your Subdomain
Pick a name for your project. This will be your free subdomain: yourname.clodhost.com. You can add a custom domain later if you want.
4 Watch Claude Build
Click "Build It" and watch the magic happen. Claude will:
- Set up a fresh server just for your project
- Install all the necessary tools and frameworks
- Write the code for your application
- Deploy it so it's accessible on the internet
This usually takes 2-5 minutes depending on the complexity of your project.
5 See Your Project Live
Once Claude is done, you'll get a link to your live project. Click it and see your creation running on the internet!
Your project has its own server with:
- A public URL anyone can visit
- HTTPS encryption (the green padlock)
- Persistent storage for databases and files
6 Keep Iterating
Your project is live, but that's just the beginning. You can keep chatting with Claude to:
- Add new features
- Change the design
- Fix bugs or issues
- Add a database
- Integrate APIs
Just describe what you want in the chat, and Claude will make it happen.
You can ask Claude to explain what it built or how something works. It's a great way to learn while building.
What's Next?
Now that you have your first project running, here are some things to try:
- Add a database - Ask Claude to store data persistently
- Add user accounts - Let people sign up and log in
- Connect a custom domain - Use your own domain name
- Build something more complex - The sky's the limit!
