Before diving deeper into game development, let's get your project live on the web. This way you can share your progress at any point in the course.

Why Deploy Early?

Having your game hosted on a live URL means you can:

• Share your progress — Send a link to friends or portfolio reviewers

• Test on different devices — See how your game performs on mobile or other browsers

• Build incrementally — Update your live site as you complete each section

Set Up Hosting with Hostinger

We'll use Hostinger for web hosting. After signing up for a plan, you'll be guided through domain registration and hosting setup.

The yearly plan offers the best value — you get a free domain for the first year included.

Upload Your Game

To deploy your game:

1. Compress your project — Right-click your project folder and create a ZIP file

2. Upload the ZIP — Use Hostinger's upload wizard during setup

3. Move files to public_html — Open File Manager and move your index.html and index.js directly into the public_html folder

Updating Your Site

Whenever you want to update your live game, just drag your new files into the public_html folder via File Manager. Your changes will be reflected immediately.

Domain activation can take up to 48 hours, but usually completes within an hour.

With your hosting configured, you can now deploy updates at any point during the course.
