While it is very convenient to have everything in a single application, we don't really need to host
our application on lovable if we have connected our application to GitHub.
We have already opened up the possibility for many other integrations.
So let me briefly explain two other options.
For example, we can simply deploy the application on a service called Vercel, and all we need to do
is provide our repository.
And a similar service is also Netlify.
Now keep in mind that if you decide to host this somewhere else, Supabase is still something that's
going to be needed because the frontend is going to be hosted on Netlify, Vercel, or in our case right
now, lovable.
But the backend is still going to sit with Supabase.
Now, in case you're wondering like why would you do this?
Let me show you just one example.
You go here to settings.
You're going to see here domains.
So you have the possibility of using your own domain.
Currently I have this login.
But let's be honest if you want to use it for your business website.
You don't want to have that lovable app.
At the end, you may want to purchase a new domain or add your existing domain.
For both of these options, you need a paid lovable subscription.
So if you want to use your own domain and you already have access to the code because you have stored
it in GitHub, then it really makes a lot of sense to use Vercel or Netlify to bring your own domain
and to have it there.
You can still make changes through loveable if needed, even through the free plan, if that's okay
with you, if your key that your code is publicly available, or you can just continue making changes
to your project through other tools.
So I just want to explain that this is also a possibility.
I wanted to show you that you can connect domains.
You can add an existing domain.
You can buy new domain.
The process is relatively simple.
I'm not going to go into this, but I'm going to post a lot of links as a resource to this lecture to
help you out.
Just so you know, there are a lot of options out there.
It depends on you, what you want to explore.
