Moving to Replit, or building on it
Site moves, internal tools and automation, and getting your own team set up to build. What we do, what you keep, and how it starts.
Building and hosting
Replit
Build it, host it, and keep it yours.
Replit is where an app is written, run and published in one place, with an AI agent that can do much of the building. The guides here cover moving a site onto it and what to settle before customers depend on what you build.

AI coding tools are part of how we work, and they make a first version fast. The team was writing code before any of these tools existed, which is how we know what the tool left out.

Answers and terms that come up with Replit.
Terms worth knowing
- 301 redirect
A 301 redirect is a server instruction saying a page has permanently moved to a new address. Google treats it as a signal that the new address is the real one and should be the version shown in search results. A 302 says the move is temporary, so Google keeps showing the old address instead.
- DNS
DNS is the system that turns a domain name into the address of the machine that answers for it. Your records live on an authoritative server named in the domain's NS record. Changes are not broadcast; old answers simply sit in caches until the TTL you set expires.
- Core Web Vitals
Core Web Vitals are three measurements Google uses for page experience: loading, responsiveness and visual stability. The current set is LCP under 2.5 seconds, INP under 200 milliseconds and CLS under 0.1. A page passes only if it hits all three at the 75th percentile of real visits.
- API
An API is the way one piece of software talks to another without a person in the middle. MDN describes it as a contract between the application offering it and whatever uses it. The part that matters commercially is that the contract belongs to whoever publishes it, and it changes.
- Version control
Version control is the permanent record of software as it changes. Microsoft describes it as taking a snapshot of the files and saving it so it can be recalled later. For a business paying for the work, it is where the asset lives, and access to it is a separate question from owning it.
- Sitemap
A sitemap is a file listing the URLs on your site so search engines can find them. Google says it ignores the priority and changefreq tags and uses lastmod only when the date is verifiably accurate. Bing calls lastmod a key freshness signal. A sitemap aids discovery and guarantees nothing.
- Canonical URL
A canonical URL is the version of a page you want treated as the real one when several URLs show the same content. The standard calls it the author's preferred version. Google ranks it a strong signal, not an instruction, and says none of these methods are required because it will pick a version anyway.
