# Exporting as Self-Hosted Project

The **Self-Hosted** export option in Spline allows you to export your entire project, including all assets and the Spline runtime, as a fully self-contained ZIP file.

This is ideal for scenarios where you want full control over hosting, and do not wish to rely on external servers or CDN requests.

<Info>
  Self-hosted export is available on the Enterprise plan. [Contact Sales

</Info>

### Key Features

* **Fully Offline**: No need for internet access after deployment.

* **Includes Spline Runtime**: Everything needed to render your scene is bundled.

* **Custom Hosting**: Deploy on your own server or preferred hosting service.

### How to use

1. In the top toolbar, click the **Export** button.

2. Under the **Web** section, select **Self-Hosted**.

3. Choose your preferred code format: **Vanilla JS**, **React**, or **Next.js**.

4. Click **Download Self hosted ZIP**.

5. Unzip the downloaded file.

6. Upload the contents to your hosting server.

<Info>
  For **React** and **Next.js**: Integrate the export into your existing project and run npm install
  to ensure all dependencies are available. Learn more below in the *Export Modes* section.

### Export Modes

#### - Vanilla JavaScript

* Exports a ready-to-use HTML + JS bundle

* No extra setup needed — just unzip and upload to your server

* Easiest way to deploy standalone scenes

#### - React / Next.js

* Not prebuilt: designed to be used inside a larger React or Next.js project

* Requires npm install to fetch dependencies (like @splinetool/react-spline)

* All WASM and runtime assets are loaded locally via node\_modules or the public/ directory

* Ideal for developers who want to self-host but still benefit from React/Next integration and tooling

<Info>
  **Note:** The React/Next.js self-hosted bundles are made for self-hosting but assume you’ll
  integrate them into a build process — they are not plug-and-play like the Vanilla JS export.
</Info>

### Summary

* Use **Vanilla JS** if you want a zero-config, upload-and-go experience.

* Use **React/Next.js** if you’re integrating Spline into a full frontend project with your own hosting and build pipeline.

That’s it — your Spline scene will now run independently, without fetching any external dependencies.
