What it is

HTML page hosting isn't a server account

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.

If your site is made of HTML, CSS, images and scripts, it's static, and the second column is all it needs.

Three steps

How HTML hosting works

01

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.

02

Get an address

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.

03

Update whenever you need

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.

Formats

What you can host

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.

A single HTML file

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.

A site folder or ZIP archive

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.

HTML code from the clipboard

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.

Use cases

Why people host HTML pages

Landing page

A one-pager for an ad campaign while the main site is still in the works.

Prototype

A working interface for a client as a link, not screenshots.

Small things for offline businesses

Menus, checklists, instructions, invitations.

Examples

What people have published on htmlkin

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.

Lead forms

A contact form on a static page

Forms for leads, requests, feedback, webinar sign-ups and more. A visitor clicks “Send” and the submission appears in your dashboard.

Your own markup

A regular <form> with our address in action. The fields, layout and styles are yours — htmlkin injects nothing into the page.

Submissions in your dashboard

They arrive in the Forms section: search by field, mark as read, export to CSV. Kept until you delete them.

No page reload

The snippet's script sends the submission without taking the visitor away from the page.

Boundaries

What htmlkin doesn't do

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is HTML page hosting?

It's an address where the browser fetches your static file. Unlike renting a hosting account, there's no server running anything: just files and a link to them.

Do I need to sign up to host HTML?

No. Without an account you can publish 1 site, and the link works for 24 hours. After you sign up, the site is yours and stays on a permanent subdomain.

How much does HTML hosting cost?

One site up to 20 MB is free, with a custom domain and a promo banner at the bottom. Paid plans start at $8.33/mo billed yearly: they remove the banner and raise the limits.

Do PHP, a database and a contact form work?

There's no server-side code: htmlkin serves static files, and PHP or MySQL need classic hosting. Contact forms do work: on the Pro and Business plans a form on the page sends submissions to your dashboard.

Can I connect my own domain?

Yes, on any plan, including the free one. The domain is connected with DNS records, and the certificate is issued automatically. Without a domain the site opens on a .htmlkin.io subdomain.

How many files fit in one site?

Up to 500 files. The total size of your sites is limited by the plan's storage: 20 MB on the free plan, 1 GB on Pro and 5 GB on Business; one upload can be up to 200 MB. index.html must be in the root.

Can I publish straight from ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes, on any plan, including Free: htmlkin has a REST API and an MCP server, so the assistant publishes the page itself and returns a ready link. All you need is an account and an API key from your dashboard.
