AI tools can help you create website designs, mockups, and even website code. However, the type of content you have determines the next steps for getting your website online.

This article explains the differences between AI-generated designs and AI-generated code, as well as the hosting options available through Rebel.

Understanding What You Have

AI-Generated Image or Mockup (PNG, JPG, PDF)

Many AI tools generate website designs as images. These files may look like complete websites, but they are not functional websites.

An image mockup:

• Shows what a website could look like
• Can be used as a design reference
• Can help guide the website creation process

An image mockup cannot:

• Be uploaded as a website
• Create navigation menus
• Display forms or interactive elements
• Function as a live website on its own

If your AI tool generated a PNG, JPG, PDF, or similar image file, you'll need to recreate the design using a website builder or web development platform.

AI-Generated HTML

Some AI tools can generate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code for a website.

This provides the structure and layout of a website, but it may not include:

• Final branding assets
• Optimized images
• Logos
• Custom graphics
• Forms connected to services
• Dynamic functionality such as e-commerce, membership systems, or databases

Before publishing an AI-generated HTML website, you may need to replace placeholder images, update text content, and test all functionality.

Hosting Options for AI-Generated Websites

Option 1: Build with Managed WordPress and AI Builder

Best for:

• AI-generated website ideas, layouts, or content
• Blogs, portfolios, and business websites
• Users who want an easy-to-manage website platform

Managed WordPress Hosting includes AI-powered tools that can help generate website layouts, content, and page structures based on your requirements. This option is ideal if you have a design concept or mockup and would like to recreate it using WordPress.

Recommended hosting:

• Managed WordPress Hosting

Option 2: Upload Your AI-Generated HTML to Web Hosting

Best for:

• Users with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files
• Static websites
• Developers comfortable managing website files

If your AI tool generated a working HTML website, you can upload the files directly to your hosting account using Plesk File Manager or FTP. Once uploaded, visitors will be able to access the website through your domain name.

Keep in mind that AI-generated HTML may still contain placeholder images, sample content, or incomplete functionality that will need to be updated before your site is ready for production.

Recommended hosting:

• Plesk Web-hosting

Note: Uploading HTML files will not automatically create WordPress functionality, databases, ecommerce features, or third-party integrations. Additional setup may be required depending on your website's needs.
