Upload the files
Drop an HTML page, a site folder or a ZIP archive into the form. You can also paste HTML code straight from the clipboard — no need to create a file.
Drop in an HTML file, a site folder or a ZIP archive and get a public link like mypage.htmlkin.io.
HTML hosting is a place where a static file lives and an address where people open it. It takes no executable code, no database and no control panel: the browser downloads index.html and renders the page. All the service has to do is serve the file over HTTPS.
Classic web hosting works differently. You rent an account on a server and get a control panel, FTP access, PHP and MySQL — and you pay for all of it even if the whole site is a single file. You also have to set everything up yourself: the domain, DNS, the certificate, folder permissions.
For an HTML page that's overkill. So htmlkin does exactly two things: it accepts files and gives you a link to them.
| Classic hosting | HTML page hosting | |
|---|---|---|
| What you rent | an account on a server | an address for your files |
| How you upload | FTP or the panel's file manager | drag and drop in the browser |
| What you configure | domain, DNS, certificate, permissions | nothing |
| PHP and a database | yes | no |
If your site is made of HTML, CSS, images and scripts, it's static, and the second column is all it needs.
Drop an HTML page, a site folder or a ZIP archive into the form. You can also paste HTML code straight from the clipboard — no need to create a file.
Every site lives on its own subdomain. The certificate is issued automatically, so the link opens over HTTPS right away. Instead of a subdomain you can connect your own domain — on any plan.
Upload a new version and the address stays the same. You won't have to change a link you've already sent.
Without sign-up the link works for 24 hours. After you sign up, the site stays yours.
HTML site hosting accepts three kinds of content: a single page, a whole folder and pasted code. Which one to pick depends only on how many files your site is made of.
Hosting a single HTML file is what the service was built for: one page with inline styles and scripts, generated by AI or put together by you. Drop the file in and get a link. The name doesn't matter: a single file is saved as index.html and becomes the home page.
Hosting index.html and everything next to it: if there are several pages plus images, fonts and stylesheets, upload the whole folder or a ZIP archive. There's one requirement: index.html in the root, since the site opens from it. The most common beginner mistake is naming the main file home.html. Up to 500 files per site.
Hosting HTML code without a file: paste the markup into the field and htmlkin builds the page from it. Handy when the code came as a chat reply and there's no reason to save it to disk.
A report, a dashboard or a landing page built by ChatGPT or Claude. All the ways — a site made with AI as a link.
Opens in the browser on a phone or a laptop, no attachments. The whole scenario — HTML presentation as a link.
A one-pager for an ad campaign while the main site is still in the works.
A working interface for a client as a link, not screenshots.
Menus, checklists, instructions, invitations.
Live sites whose authors opened them to search engines. Each one opens by link — see how it looks on a custom domain and on a subdomain.
Forms for leads, requests, feedback, webinar sign-ups and more. A visitor clicks “Send” and the submission appears in your dashboard.
A regular <form> with our address in action. The fields, layout and styles are yours — htmlkin injects nothing into the page.
They arrive in the Forms section: search by field, mark as read, export to CSV. Kept until you delete them.
The snippet's script sends the submission without taking the visitor away from the page.
The free plan comes with a subdomain, a custom domain with HTTPS and a permanent link. What it covers and where it ends — on the free HTML hosting page.
Prices are shown for yearly billing — 2 months free. A full comparison and monthly prices are on the pricing page.
htmlkin publishes finished static sites. Hence the boundaries:
PHP, Python and databases don't run. There's no server-side code — only files served to the browser.
Forms don't send email. Submissions land in your dashboard inbox — there are no email notifications and no forwarding to your address.
No FTP. Files are uploaded through the browser, the API or MCP.
htmlkin doesn't make the site. It's not a site builder: you bring finished markup — your own or generated by AI.
No email inboxes on your domain.
Drop in an HTML file, a folder or a ZIP — the link appears in a few seconds. No sign-up needed to try it.
