Drop in a file
An HTML page, a site folder or a ZIP archive. Code from a chat can be pasted straight into the field — there's no need to save it to disk.

What's free
What the free plan includes
Free HTML hosting on htmlkin isn't a trial. The plan has no end date: there's no card to add, no bill a month later, and your site won't stop opening because time ran out.
One site. Publishing takes your only slot. When you no longer need the site, delete it and publish the next one — the slot frees up.
Up to 20 MB and 500 files. The whole unpacked site counts: markup, styles, scripts, fonts and images together.
A subdomain with a name you choose. The address is random by default, but you can change it to a name of your own — mypage.htmlkin.io.
HTTPS with no setup. The *.htmlkin.io certificate is issued in advance, so the link opens over https from the very first second.
Updates without a new link. Upload a new version and the address stays the same. Nobody has to be sent the link again.
Publishing without sign-up. One site goes live right away, and the link lives for 24 hours. Signing in with an email link removes the time limit and makes the site yours.
What static page hosting is and how it differs from renting a server — on the HTML page hosting page.
Three steps
How to host an HTML page for free
Grab the link
The address is issued right away and opens over HTTPS. Without sign-up the link works for 24 hours — enough to show the page and decide whether you still need it.
Sign in by email
You sign in with a link from an email, no password to come up with. The site moves to your dashboard, the time limit goes away, and the subdomain stays the same.
Boundaries
Where free ends
Three limitations, and you can see all of them before you publish, not after the link has gone out.
A promo banner at the bottom of the page. A 60-pixel strip with a link to htmlkin.io. No third-party ads — just our strip. It goes away on any paid plan.
The site lives as long as people visit it. 30 days without visits — archive; 30 more — the files are deleted. From the archive the site comes back in one click in your dashboard.
PIN and QR code — on paid plans.

20 MB limit
What fits in the free plan
20 MB is the total size of the unpacked site. For one page that's a lot; for a photo gallery it's not much. Here's what makes up the size.
A page from an AI chat
Whatever ChatGPT or Claude built arrives as one file with inline styles and scripts. A file like that weighs kilobytes, not megabytes, and fits the limit with room to spare. You don't even have to save the code to disk — paste it into the field and htmlkin builds the page from it.
A site folder or ZIP archive
Several pages with styles, fonts and images next to them — upload the whole folder or an 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.
What uses up the limit
Space goes to images, video and font files — markup with styles takes a fraction of a megabyte. If the site doesn't fit, compress the images, and upload video to an external service and embed it with a player. Paid plans have more storage — 1 GB on Pro, 5 GB on Business, and a single upload can be up to 200 MB.
Use cases
What people publish on the free plan
A page from AI
A file laid out by ChatGPT or Claude. From the chat it has nowhere else to go.
Presentation
Opens in the browser on a phone or a laptop — no attachment, no PowerPoint needed.
Dashboard or report
Charts and numbers go out as a link, not as screenshots in a chat.
Résumé and portfolio
One page instead of a PDF attachment.
Menu, price list, checklist
Small things for offline businesses that don't justify a full website.
Invitation
A one-evening occasion: a wedding, a birthday, a class reunion.
Prototype for a client
A working interface as a link while the main site is still being built.
What they have in common: you need one site, and not for long. Two of these scenarios step by step: HTML presentation as a link and a wedding invitation website.
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.
Next
When free is no longer enough
People usually run into one of three things: they need a second site, 20 MB isn't enough, or the promo banner gets in the way. Pro at $8.33/mo billed yearly removes all three.
