Exporting Your AI Built Site
SillyHost believes you should have full ownership of your website. The AI Site Builder allows you to export your entire site as static HTML files that you can host anywhere or keep as a backup.
How to Export Your Site
- Open your website project in the AI Site Builder.
- Click the Settings icon in the top toolbar.
- Select Export Site from the menu.
- Choose your export format: Full HTML/CSS/JS or Static HTML Only.
- Click Download Export to download a ZIP file containing your entire site.
What Is Included in the Export
The export package contains everything needed to run your website independently:
- HTML files – One file per page with clean, semantic markup.
- CSS files – All stylesheets including your custom colours and fonts.
- JavaScript files – Any interactive elements such as sliders, menus, and forms.
- Images – All images used on your site in their original quality.
- Fonts – Any custom web fonts referenced by your site.
Using Your Exported Site
The exported files are standard web files that work on any web server. You can upload them to another hosting provider via FTP, host them on services like Netlify or GitHub Pages, or simply keep them as a local backup.
Limitations of Exported Sites
Please note that certain dynamic features may not function in the exported version:
- Contact forms – These require a server-side handler to process submissions.
- E-commerce functionality – Shopping carts and checkout require backend processing.
- Blog dynamic features – Category filtering and search may need adaptation.
Regular Backups
We recommend exporting your site periodically as an additional backup measure. While SillyHost maintains its own backups, having your own copy gives you extra peace of mind and flexibility.
