Codex and Claude Code can help you create a new website, modify an existing one, fix errors, optimize performance, or prepare files for publishing on AdriaHost hosting.
Before You Begin
You will need:
- an active AdriaHost hosting account;
- the Codex desktop application or Claude Code;
- your hosting access credentials;
- a backup of your existing website.
You can find the exact server details, username, and supported connection methods in your hosting control panel or request them from our support team.
Connecting Your Hosting to the Codex Application
-
Install the Codex desktop application and sign in to your account.
-
Create a website backup before making any changes (contact us if you need assistance with creating a backup).
-
Save your hosting access credentials (username and password, or SSH/SFTP details) in a separate file on your computer, on your Desktop or in another folder of your choice. Make sure the file is protected and accessible only to you.
-
Launch Codex and explain that you have access to your hosting account, specify where the connection details are stored, and ask it to connect to your hosting.
-
Once the connection has been confirmed as successful, you can use Codex to manage your hosting according to the available access permissions. Simply describe what you want it to do.
Example prompt:
Connect to my hosting account using the access credentials stored in the file on my Desktop. Check the available features and do not make any changes without my approval.
After connecting, you can submit requests such as:
Create a new email account named info@mojdomen.rs.
You can also use Codex to build new websites, modify existing ones, troubleshoot issues, and manage your hosting environment.
Connecting Your Hosting to Claude Code
-
Install Claude Code and sign in to your account.
-

You can also use Claude Code to build new websites, modify existing ones, troubleshoot issues, and manage your hosting environment.
Note: Direct connections require appropriate hosting access, typically a username and password, SSH, or SFTP. Certain administrative functions may require additional permissions or API access. We recommend approving all significant changes before they are applied and always keeping an up-to-date website backup.
When Is SSH Access Required?
For editing and transferring regular files, SFTP or access through your hosting control panel is often sufficient.
SSH access is required when Codex or Claude Code needs to execute server commands, install packages, or configure the web server, databases, Docker, and other system services. This type of access is common on VPS and dedicated servers but is not automatically included with shared hosting plans.
An AI assistant can only perform actions for which you have provided the necessary access permissions.
Recommended Workflow
The safest approach is to:
- create a backup;
- download the website to your local computer;
- request a review and a plan for the proposed changes;
- make and test the changes locally;
- review the list of modified files;
- deploy the changes to a staging environment;
- update the live website only after successful testing.
Security Notice
Do not enter passwords, private SSH keys, or other access credentials directly into a conversation with an AI assistant or store them in project files. Use a secure credential storage method supported by your operating system and AI tool.
Codex and Claude Code are not AdriaHost services and are not included in the hosting price. Accounts and any required subscriptions for these tools must be obtained separately. Additional information is available in the official documentation for Codex and Claude Code.
