Export or Download Your Site

Want a copy of your site or its code? Here's an honest look at what's possible today on Kite, what isn't, and how to ask for what you need.

Export is currently a request, not an instant download

Right now, exporting or downloading your site's code is limited and handled as a request — you may be routed to talk to the team rather than getting an instant self-serve download. The steps below explain how to ask.

What you can and can't get today​

What's available may change, but here's the current picture:

  • You can keep your site live and hosted on Kite, and you can connect your own custom domain so it's reachable at your address. See Custom Domains.
  • You can request a copy of your site or its code by contacting the team.
  • You may not be able to instantly download a full code bundle yourself the way you would from some other tools — full code export/download is limited today and isn't a one-click self-serve feature yet.

If your main goal is to have your site at your own web address, you likely want a custom domain rather than a code export. See Connect a Custom Domain.

How to request your site or its code​

  1. Decide what you actually need — your live site at your own domain, or a copy of the underlying code.
  2. If you need a code copy, contact the support team and ask about exporting or downloading your site.
  3. Include your account email and the name of the site you're asking about.
  4. The team will let you know what's available and walk you through next steps. You may be routed to talk to them directly rather than getting an instant download.
Just want it at your own address?

If you don't actually need the raw code and only want your site reachable at your own domain, connecting a custom domain is usually the simpler path. See Connect a Custom Domain.

Troubleshooting​

I don't see a download or export button​

That's expected for now — code export/download isn't a one-click self-serve feature yet. Request it by contacting support with your account email and site name.

I'm leaving Kite and want my content​

Contact the team to ask what they can provide for your site, and save anything you can before making account changes. If you're also planning to delete your account, get your copy first — see Delete Your Account & Data.

I just want my site at my own domain​

You don't need to export anything for that. Connect a custom domain and keep your site hosted on Kite. See Connect a Custom Domain.
