Quick question is it possible to deploy a payload app on simple webhosting providers? Meaning uploading "build" & "dist" via ftp to webhosting and starting from there?

    Yes, this is possible as long as you have the ability to execute the node process.



    We have a section in our docs about deployment that will help you out.

    Let me know if you have questions 👍

    which node process do you mean exactly? i built it locally, can i move it to hosting with ftp ?

    Yes, you'll need to move the build and dist directories



    Along with an .env file if you use one.



    Then you'd do

    node dist/server.js

    assuming you're using one of our templates
