Deploying a Site
You can deploy a new site from your dashboard in three ways:
- arrow_forwardFile Upload — Upload a ZIP of your site files directly through the dashboard file manager.
- arrow_forwardGit Integration — Connect a GitHub or GitLab repository for automatic deployments on push.
- arrow_forwardOne-Click Apps — Instantly deploy WordPress, WooCommerce, or other supported CMS platforms.
Tip: After deploying, configure your PHP version, environment variables, and caching rules under Site Settings → Advanced Configuration.
Domains & DNS
To point a domain to your Cloudwing site, update your domain registrar's nameservers to our provided values, or add an A record pointing to your site's assigned IP address.
DNS propagation typically takes between 15 minutes and 48 hours. You can monitor propagation status from the Domain Manager panel in your dashboard. Cloudwing also supports wildcard subdomains and custom CNAME entries.
SSL Certificates
All Cloudwing plans include free automated SSL certificates powered by Let's Encrypt. Certificates are provisioned automatically when a valid domain is attached to your site and are renewed 30 days before expiry.
Enterprise plans also support custom certificate uploads (EV SSL, wildcard certificates). Navigate to Site Settings → SSL to manage your certificates and force HTTPS redirects.
Migrations
Moving an existing site to Cloudwing is seamless. Our migration team performs zero-downtime transfers with full data integrity verification. To request a migration:
-
1
Submit a migration request via the dashboard under Tools → Site Migration, or contact our support team directly.
-
2
Provide access credentials for your current host. We accept cPanel exports, SFTP credentials, or direct database dumps.
-
3
Our engineers complete the transfer, perform integrity checks, and confirm with you before updating DNS records.
