Publishing & Hosting

How your website is published and hosted

Your site is a statically exported Next.js app served over a global CloudFront CDN with automatic HTTPS — fast and reliable.

When the AI finishes generating your site, A3 iFrame publishes it for you automatically — there is no separate hosting account to set up, no server to manage, and nothing to install. This article explains what happens behind the scenes and why your site is fast and reliable.

A statically exported Next.js site

Your website is built as a statically exported Next.js app. In plain terms, that means the pages are produced ahead of time as ready-to-serve files rather than being assembled on demand for each visitor. Static sites are quick to load, dependable, and well suited to the kind of professional, content-focused sites A3 iFrame creates.

Served over a global CDN

Your published files are delivered through a global CloudFront CDN. A content delivery network keeps copies of your site at locations around the world, so when someone visits, the pages are served from a point of presence near them. The practical benefits are:

  • Speed — visitors get your site from a nearby location, which keeps load times low wherever they are.
  • Reliability — the network is designed to stay available and absorb traffic, so your site holds up even when more people visit.
  • Scale — you do not have to think about capacity; the CDN handles it for you.

Automatic HTTPS

Every site is served with automatic HTTPS. HTTPS encrypts the connection between your visitors and your site, which protects their data and is expected by modern browsers and search engines. You do not need to buy or configure a certificate — it is handled for you, both on your free subdomain and on a custom domain if you connect one.

What this means for you

Because hosting is fully managed, you can focus on your content instead of infrastructure:

  • There is no server to patch or maintain.
  • Publishing happens as part of generation, so your site goes live without extra steps.
  • When you edit content and regenerate, the updated site is published the same way.

Where your site lives

New sites go live on a free subdomain like yourname.myfolio.name. You can keep that address for as long as you like, or point a custom domain at your site later. To learn how the subdomain works and how to go live, see your subdomain and going live.
