Who Owns the Source Code of an AI-Generated Website?

Ownership and portability are separate questions.

Terms vary by provider and plan. You may control content and a domain while still depending on a platform’s proprietary hosting and components. A code-generating service may let you export code, but libraries, licenses, generated assets, backend services, and deployment configuration still require review.

  1. Read the current terms for content, code, assets, and account access.
  2. Confirm whether files, data, and database schemas can be exported.
  3. Keep the domain in an independently controlled registrar account.
  4. Save versioned copies and document credentials, dependencies, and deployment steps.
