Preview hosting vs. your production domain
DriftLess preview URLs are for review; production on a custom domain is your repo plus Railway, Vercel, or another host.
Two layers are easy to conflate: (1) a DriftLess-managed preview that proves the build, and (2) a deployment you operate for real users.
Previews are generated as part of the build pipeline so you can open a browser, run checks, and share progress. They are not a replacement for production operations: SSL on your apex domain, observability, backups, and secrets rotation still happen where you deploy.
What you do after handoff
Connect your Git repository to your hosting provider, configure build commands the way you would for any Vite or web codebase, add environment variables in that provider’s dashboard, and attach DNS there. DriftLess does not need to stay in that path.
