Web hosting for Claude
Claude can build and run a real website — but it needs a live web server to do it on. Claude CMS gives Claude a PHP/MySQL web server of its own, so it can create pages, run code and publish straight to your domain. Your hosting, or fully managed by us.
What “web hosting for Claude” means
Through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), Claude — Anthropic’s AI — can read and write files, run PHP and manage a database directly. But it can only do that if it has somewhere to act: a live web server it can connect to and control. Web hosting for Claude is exactly that — not just a place you upload files to, but a web server Claude itself can build on. This is what people mean by Claude web hosting.
To build or change a real site, three things have to happen on a server: files get written, code runs, and data is stored. A normal AI chat can hand you a snippet, but you still have to find hosting, set up the stack and deploy. Give Claude its own web server and that gap closes — it creates the pages, writes the CSS and PHP, wires up the database and publishes live, all from a conversation.
Your server, your data
It runs on your hosting. Your files and database stay yours — nothing locked inside a proprietary platform.
Keeps working if you cancel
The site is plain PHP/MySQL. Stop the Claude connection and your pages keep serving.
Server-side, not just static
Forms, Stripe payments, APIs, webhooks and a real database — anything that runs on a web server.
Live, in real time
Claude writes changes straight to the server — no separate build or deploy step.
How Claude CMS gives Claude a web server
Claude CMS installs on a standard PHP/MySQL host and exposes an MCP connector that gives Claude full read and write access to your site’s files, database and pages. Once connected, Claude has a live web server of its own — describe what you want and Claude builds it on your domain.
You can point it at hosting you already have — or let us run it for you fully managed on the latest PHP, with rate limiting, off-site backups, SSL and security scans included. Either way Claude gets the same live server to work on. See how it works, browse plans and pricing, or compare against a headless CMS.
What makes Claude web hosting different
Ordinary web hosting just stores your files. Claude web hosting is built so an AI can operate the server directly — reading and writing files, running PHP and managing the database through the MCP connector. You describe the change and Claude makes it live, so it is hosting shaped around what Claude can do rather than a generic server you drive yourself.
How much does web hosting for Claude cost?
Managed hosting is £9.99/month, added to your Claude CMS plan, and the first month is free. That one price covers two servers rather than one — a development space on a claude-cms.com address and a production space on your own domain — each with SSL, off-site backups, updates and security scans included.
A development space
Your own address on claude-cms.com, listed in your account as the test space. Let Claude build it, rebuild it and get it wrong here — nothing is public until you decide it is.
A production space
Your real domain, on its own server with its own database and its own Claude connection, so your live site is never the sandbox you were experimenting in.
Claude holds a connection to both, so it can build on the development space and copy the finished work across to production once you are happy with it.
What you pay in total
Hosting is an add-on to a plan, so most people pay for two things: the Setup + Monthly plan at £9.99/month, where we install and connect Claude CMS for you, plus managed hosting at £9.99/month. The first month of each is free. The Full Build + SEO/AEO plan at £249.99/month already includes hosting. Prefer to use hosting you already have? Leave the add-on off and run the plan on its own from £6.99/month.
Managed hosting specs
Every managed plan comes with generous, fair-use resources — plenty for any normal business, portfolio, shop or content site.
25 GB storage
Generous room for pages, images, documents and your database — far more than a typical site uses.
100 GB/month bandwidth
Comfortable monthly transfer for any normal business or content website.
Latest PHP & MySQL
Modern stack with SSL, rate limiting, automatic off-site backups and security scans built in.
Fair-use policy. These plans are for standard websites. They’re not intended for hosting or streaming video libraries, large media archives, file-distribution, or backup storage. Sites that consistently use heavy bandwidth or storage may be asked to move to a plan that suits them — we’ll always talk it through with you first. Want video on your site?

Web hosting for Claude — common questions
Can Claude host a website?
Claude doesn’t host websites itself — it needs a live web server to read and write files, run code and store data. Claude CMS provides that server and connects Claude to it, so Claude can build and publish your site directly.
Does Claude need its own server?
To build and run a real, live website, yes. Claude CMS gives Claude a dedicated PHP and MySQL web server it can fully control through MCP.
What web hosting works with Claude?
You can use your own modern PHP/MySQL hosting, or our fully managed hosting — which runs the latest PHP with rate limiting (fail2ban), automatic off-site backups, SSL and security scans built in. Either way Claude gets the same live web server to build on.
What is Claude web hosting?
Claude web hosting is web hosting that Claude can operate itself. The server is connected to Claude through MCP so it can build pages, run code and manage the database directly — Claude CMS provides it on your own hosting or fully managed.
How much does web hosting for Claude cost?
Managed hosting is £9.99/month on top of your Claude CMS plan, with the first month free, and it covers both a development space on a claude-cms.com address and a production space on your own domain. Alongside the Setup + Monthly plan at £9.99/month, that is what you pay; the Full Build + SEO/AEO plan at £249.99/month includes hosting already. Using your own PHP/MySQL hosting instead? Then you don’t need the add-on at all.
How much storage and bandwidth do I get?
Managed plans include 25 GB of storage and 100 GB of monthly bandwidth on a fair-use basis — comfortably more than a normal business or content site needs. They’re not designed for video hosting, large media libraries or file distribution; sites that consistently exceed fair use can move to a plan that fits.
Can I point my own domain at this hosting?
Yes — add an A record and a CNAME at your registrar and wait for DNS to propagate. Full steps: connecting a custom domain.
Claude website hosting, answered
Where do I host a Claude Code website?
Anywhere that runs PHP and MySQL — which is nearly every host on earth. The difference is what happens next: install Claude CMS on that hosting and the server itself becomes something Claude can operate over MCP. Prefer zero setup? Our managed plans give Claude a server that's ready the moment you subscribe.
How do I deploy a website built with Claude?
With Claude CMS, you don't — deployment is the conversation. There's no FTP upload, no git push, no build pipeline: Claude writes pages, files and database changes straight to the live server as you talk. Ask for a change, refresh, and it's deployed.
What makes hosting “for Claude” different?
Ordinary web hosting gives you a control panel. Claude website hosting exposes the whole stack — pages, files, database, config — as MCP tools, so Claude can build, query and maintain the site itself. Same server underneath; a completely different way of working on top.
Give Claude a web server
Install Claude CMS on your host, connect Claude, and start building by conversation. First month free when you choose Setup + Monthly.
