Everything you need to launch on Devani Hosting in under a minute, or self-host the open-source CMS your way. Pick the path that matches you.
Three paths, same destination.
The fastest path is fully managed on Devani Hosting: live in under a minute. Prefer to run the open-source CMS yourself? Self-host it your way.
Go live on Devani Hosting
Sign in and spin up a site on a free devani.studio subdomain in under a minute. We handle servers, SSL, the media CDN, backups, and updates: nothing to install. Getting started guide →
One-command self-host
Prefer to run it yourself? Paste a single command on a bare Ubuntu VPS and Devani installs itself: nginx, PHP, HTTPS, your domain. About $5/month at any provider. Install guide →
Deploy from source
Download the release from devani.io: it's the full, readable source. Run it locally, deploy how you like. Best for developers and agencies with their own pipeline. Run it locally →
The practical how-tos.
Short, focused guides for the things people actually ask about: the full set lives in the help center.
- Connect your domain. On Devani Hosting, add your custom domain and we automate DNS and managed SSL, or add the records manually at any DNS provider.
- Edit your site. The visual editor and Claude, side by side: every change snapshotted.
- Sell on your site. Products, inventory, discounts, and Stripe checkout: built in.
- Build your first form. Embed a form, route submissions, set up email and newsletters.
- Wire up Claude. One hub connection controls every site on your account: new sites appear automatically.
- Understand your media storage. The Devani CDN handles images automatically: sizes, WebP, global delivery.
- Recover from anything. Backups run automatically: here's what each layer covers and how to restore.
The deeper stuff, when you need it.
For agencies running fleets and developers extending Devani: the full set lives in the Developer Docs.

Create sites, attach domains, issue certificates, and tear them down over HTTP: no dashboard clicks.
Page schema
How pages, posts, and meta.json work under the hood. Useful for migrations and bulk edits.
MCP reference
Per-site or hub-wide: auth, roles, write-gating, and the safety invariants every tool respects.
Snapshot & rollback
How the recovery layers work, what each covers, and how to roll back in one click.
