ChatGPT and Codex are very good at writing a website. What they cannot do is put it on the internet — so you end up with a folder of files, a lot of code you did not write, and no idea what happens next. This is that next step: a place for the website to live and a web address you can send to people, for £9.99 a month with the first month free.
A Codex website builder is not a prompt box that produces a mockup. Codex already writes HTML, CSS and PHP perfectly well — the missing piece is somewhere to put it. CodexCMS supplies the filesystem, the database and the authenticated API, so what your agent writes becomes a running site at a URL, for £9.99 a month.
You ask ChatGPT or Codex for a website. It writes the code. Normally that is where everything stops, because the code sits in a chat window doing nothing useful. Here the assistant puts those files straight onto your own hosting and hands you a link, and when you want something changed you ask for it in the same ordinary words.
No. You describe the website you want and the AI writes it for you. You never have to open a code editor, you do not need to understand what is inside the files, and nothing here assumes you have built a website before.
Hosting is the computer your website lives on so that other people can visit it. Without it, the site your AI wrote only exists on your own machine — no address, no visitors. Hosting is what turns a folder of files into a real website.
Your assistant connects to your hosting and puts the files there itself. There is nothing for you to upload and no FTP program to install. You ask for a website, and a few moments later there is a link you can open and share.
You describe the site in your terminal. The agent writes the files, pushes them to your test space through the API, and hands you a URL. You read the page, ask for the change you want, and it edits the file it already wrote. Nothing is regenerated from scratch and nothing is queued for a deploy.
Because a generated site is rarely only static files. A contact form needs to post somewhere, a shop needs an API key it can hold server-side, and a CMS needs a database. A static host gives your agent nowhere to put any of that.
Codex writes the markup itself. There is no template system to work around and no drag-and-drop editor to learn, so the page you get is the page the agent wrote. Every file stays directly editable by hand if you would rather change something yourself.
Through a REST API on your own site. The agent authenticates with a bearer token that only your account holds, then works the way it already works locally — open a file, edit it, write it back — except the filesystem it is editing is your live server, and the database it queries is yours.
Every guide to building a site with AI ends with the word "deploy", as though that part were obvious. It is not, and it is where most people stop. These are the four things your AI cannot conjure on its own, and all four come with the plan.
Yes, as often as you like. Ask for the change in plain words — make the heading bigger, add a contact page, use different photos — and the AI edits the site that already exists rather than starting again from scratch.
Every plan includes a test space, which is a private copy of your site that nobody else can see. You try things there first, and a backup of every file is saved before it changes, so anything can be put back. Both sites are included in the price.
Business sites, portfolios, blogs, landing pages, booking forms and online shops. If you have seen a website do it, it can almost certainly be built here — you describe what you want and the AI works out how.
An agent in a terminal can write an entire site in a minute. Every one of these is a thing it then cannot do on its own, and each is the reason a generated project stalls at the last step.
Marketing sites, documentation, blogs, landing pages, client sites, headless ecommerce storefronts and small hosted apps — dashboards, booking forms, internal tools and API endpoints. Anything that runs on PHP 8 and MySQL runs here.
On your test space. Every plan includes two: Codex builds on a subdomain we provide, and you promote to your own domain when the site is ready. Both spaces are included in the monthly price.
A backup of every file is written before it is changed, so a single bad edit can be rolled back. Building on the test space means a broken page never reaches a real visitor to begin with.
