How to Publish an HTML Website in Seconds

What you need

• A static website: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, images and fonts are allowed.
• An index.html file. If you upload one single HTML file, it is renamed to index.html automatically.
• A total size within the limit: up to 5 MB for a free demo, up to 25 MB per upload on paid plans.

Publish your site in four steps

1. Open the Instant Publish page, or use the upload box on the homepage.
2. Drop your file or folder, or use Choose files or Choose folder.
3. Select Publish my site now.
4. Open the live HTTPS link you receive and check your pages on your phone and on a computer.

What happens to a free demo site

A free demo needs no card and stays online for one hour, so you can test the process and share a quick preview. A countdown banner on the demo shows how much time is left. To keep a site online permanently, choose a plan. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial and no charge until day 8.

Checklist before you upload

• Link files with relative paths, such as css/style.css, so they work after upload.
• Keep file names simple and lowercase, without spaces.
• Check that images and fonts are in the folder you upload.
• Remember that HostingSteak hosts static sites. Server code, such as PHP, does not run.

After publishing

Add your own address by connecting a custom domain, or search for a new one. If you do not have code yet, build a website with an AI assistant first and publish the result.
