Host your Bolt.new app in Switzerland: step by step
klickops is a Swiss hosting platform that builds Bolt.new apps via their GitHub export and runs them on servers in Switzerland: your own domain, daily backups, free plan to start.
- Bolt exports your project to GitHub, one click
- Connect the repository in klickops; build and launch run automatically
- No cold starts, no credits, data in Switzerland
Takes about 15 minutes. No programming skills required.
From demo address to a home of its own
Bolt gets you to a running app on a .bolt.host address in minutes. Perfect for showing around. Less so for running a business: cold starts when nobody visited for a while, your own domain only on the paid plan, and no answer to the server-location question.
Here too: the app is a perfectly normal web app. Bolt exports it to GitHub, and from there klickops takes over.
Getting the app onto Swiss servers
- 1
Export the project from Bolt to GitHub
In Bolt: open the project and choose the GitHub export. Bolt creates the repository and keeps it current.
- 2
Create a klickops account and project
Create an account, add a project. The free plan covers a small app, no credit card.
- 3
Connect the repository
"Put an app online", connect GitHub, pick the Bolt repository. klickops detects on its own how the app has to be built.
- 4
Launch and wait two minutes
The first build runs automatically; then there's a Swiss URL, encrypted and backed up daily. The app runs around the clock, no cold starts.
- 5
Connect your own domain
Enter the domain, set the DNS record shown at your registrar, the certificate arrives automatically, no surcharge and no plan upgrade.
Does the app need a database?
Many Bolt apps rely on Supabase, which keeps working unchanged after the move. If the app (or you) later wants a database in Switzerland, a managed PostgreSQL is one click away on klickops, backed up daily.

Frequently asked questions
Can I keep building in Bolt?
Yes. Bolt exports to GitHub, klickops deploys from there. New versions go live automatically.
Do the cold starts really go away?
Yes. On klickops your app runs around the clock on Swiss servers, not only when someone happens to visit.
Can I connect my .ch domain?
Yes, at no extra charge. One DNS record is enough; the certificate is issued automatically.
Is this compliant with Swiss data protection law?
The app runs in Swiss data centres with a Swiss company under Swiss law, compliant with the Swiss FADP and GDPR. The US CLOUD Act does not apply.
What does it cost?
A small stack is free, no credit card. After that, from CHF 9 per month, billed hourly, with a spending cap.
