Quick Start

Get a "Hello World" page live on the internet in three steps.

1. Create an HTML file

Open a text editor and paste the following:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>My First Page</title>
  <style>
    body {
      font-family: system-ui, sans-serif;
      display: flex;
      align-items: center;
      justify-content: center;
      min-height: 100vh;
      margin: 0;
      background: #f8fafc;
      color: #1e293b;
    }
    h1 { font-size: 2.5rem; }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello World!</h1>
</body>
</html>

Save it as index.html, then compress it into a .zip file.

2. Upload it

  1. Go to hostsmith.net and sign in
  2. Click New Site and give it a name
  3. Drag and drop your .zip file into the upload area

3. Visit your site

Your page is immediately live at <your-site-name>.hostsmith.link. Click the link to see it.

That's it - your page is online and accessible to anyone with the link.
