How to host a React Vite website on Sitegrounds?

[Keeryel]

I want to do the above, but I'm not even sure where to start. My site has multiple pages. If that helps.

If this is a normal React + Vite site, the Vite docs treat it as a static deployment:

1. build the app with npm run build
2. deploy the generated dist directory to your host

So the first question for SiteGround is not really "how do I host Vite specifically?" so much as:

• can you upload and serve the built static files from dist
• if this is an SPA, can you configure a fallback/rewrite to index.html

From the Vite side, the documented part is:

• vite build produces the production bundle
• dist is the folder you deploy
• if you deploy under a subpath, set base in vite.config

So the practical flow is:

npm install
npm run build

Then upload the contents of dist to the SiteGround web root for that site.

Two important cases:

• if your app is a single-page app with client-side routing, you usually need the host to rewrite unknown routes back to index.html
• if it is a true multi-page app, Vite also supports multiple HTML entry points, and those built pages can just be served as static files

So yes, you can host a React Vite site there, but the deployment unit is the built dist output, not the source project itself.
