Deno Deploy is shutting down. Where do I host my site now?
Short answer: Deno Deploy keeps running for six months after Deno's announcement on 9 October 2026, then shuts down. If your project is server code (an API, a Fresh app with server routes), Cloudflare Workers is the path Deno names, with migration help for paying customers. If it is a site that builds to a folder of files, including most vibe-coded sites, any host for built files works. On DropTheHassle your AI can publish it, and you go live on your own .com with no DNS step: €19 / $19 a year, the same every year.
Your AI can publish. It can never spend your money.

What Deno announced
- Deno Deploy keeps running for six months, then shuts down. Paying customers get migration support to Cloudflare Workers.
- The Deno runtime gets monthly bug fix and security releases for one more year. Deno stays open source.
- JSR keeps running, with its infrastructure moving to Cloudflare.
The announcement drew a long discussion on Hacker News, mostly about what moves cleanly to Workers and what doesn't.
Step 1. What does your project need?
- Server code that runs on each request (an API, KV, cron, server-rendered pages): you need a host that runs code.
- A site that builds to files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, often in
dist,build,outor_site): any host for built files can serve it.
Step 2. Pick where it goes
| Host | Good fit when | Your own domain |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare Workers | You have server code and want the path Deno names | Add it in Cloudflare; easiest when the domain's DNS is on Cloudflare |
| Vercel | You build with Next.js or want builds from your Git repo | Add it in Vercel: DNS records at your registrar, or buy the name through Vercel |
| Netlify | You want builds from Git, or to drop a folder | An account and DNS records at your registrar, or Netlify DNS |
| DropTheHassle | A built site or vibe-coded app you want live on your own name, published by your AI | Buy the name here and go live with no DNS step |
More on each host: where to host a vibe-coded app and Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare for an AI-built site.
Step 3. Move a built site to your own domain
- Build it. Run your build so you have a folder of files.
- Publish it. Ask your AI to publish the folder with the DropTheHassle MCP server, or drop the folder on the homepage. You get a free HTTPS link and a claim link.
- Claim it and pick a name. Your AI can search names and hand you a payment link. You pay with your own click: a .com is €19 / $19 a year, including VAT in the EU, the same every year. See can my AI buy a domain for me?
- Go live. Your site goes live on the name with HTTPS and no DNS edit. Want email on it? The same name can get a mailbox that sends and receives.
To update the site later, publish again. See update your site after it's live.
