## How do I host my app on Hostza?

<Steps>
  <Step title="ZIP file creation">
    The first step to hosting your app on **Hostza** is preparing your app for upload. This involves placing the application files correctly on Hostza inside a **.zip** file.
    However, not all files need to be included in this **.zip**. Files like `node_modules`, `package-lock.json`, `pyproject.toml` and `poetes.lock` are not necessary as they can be generated automatically on the server side. A list of files that do not need to be uploaded is available here, helping to ensure that only the necessary files are in the **.zip**, making the upload process faster and smoother.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Dependency file">
    Another crucial aspect is including the dependencies file in **.zip**. This file tells the Hostza platform which dependencies to install for your project. For a Node.js project, this file is `package.json`, and for a Python project, it is `requirements.txt`.
    These files list the libraries and packages necessary for the application to function correctly. Keeping these files up to date is crucial to avoid installation errors. Additionally, it is important to note that native dependencies such as `node-fetch` in Node.js and random in Python should not be included in these files as they are native libraries.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload to Hostza">
    After following all the steps and configuring your project for **Hostza**, it's time to upload your application. Go to the upload page on the Hostza website and upload your **.zip** file here.
    The process is simple: select your **.zip** file and click the upload button. The Hostza platform will begin the deployment process, installing the necessary dependencies and configuring your application environment automatically.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Unsupported image version">
    This error occurs when the image version in your environment is incompatible with your application. This error can be easily resolved by going to the environment images tab and changing to the version that corresponds to your application.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Error when Uploading (Timeout 20000ms)">
    This error is usually caused by a problem with the [zip file](/getting-started/bots). Verify that the .zip file was created correctly and is not password protected. If the zip file is password protected, you will need to remove the password from the zip. If the file was created correctly and is not password protected, but you still receive this error, the file may be corrupt or **too big**. In this case, you can try [creating a new zip file](/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs) and see if that solves the problem.
