# Website hosting for real estate agents with a listing to share\
\
Give a property page, brochure, floor plan or photo set one address that opens from a text or QR code. Correct the details behind the same link instead of sending a new attachment after every change.\
\
## What real estate teams actually send\
\
Website hosting for real estate agents puts a finished property page or document at a browser address that buyers, sellers and colleagues can open without an account. It is a delivery layer for listing material, not a listing database, CRM or transaction system.\
\
The same property often exists in several formats because each channel has a different constraint. A detailed HTML page works in a browser. A signed-off brochure keeps its layout as a PDF. A floor plan may need its own direct link. Use PDF to link for a brochure, PDF to QR code for print, and a static site upload when the listing is already a page or folder.\
\
The value of one hosted address shows up when details change. A price adjustment, open-house time or corrected measurement should not start another round of messages with another attachment. Re-publish at the same URL and the buyer who opens the earlier text sees the current material. This does not synchronize with an MLS or CRM; it keeps one independently published artifact current.\
\
- **Property page.** A responsive listing with the key facts, photographs, location context and next action.\
- **PDF brochure.** The designed leave-behind for a buyer, seller meeting, email follow-up or open house.\
- **Floor plan.** A drawing or PDF that opens on its own when room layout matters more than the rest of the listing.\
- **Photo set.** A selected collection that can be viewed from a phone without unpacking a ZIP or requesting drive access.\
- **Open-house page.** The address, hours, property facts and contact route behind the code printed on a sign or handout.\
- **Listing presentation.** A seller-facing proposal or market overview shared before or after a meeting.\
\
## The property, in the format the moment needs\
\
A buyer opening a text, a visitor scanning a sign and a seller reading a proposal should not all be forced through the same file workflow.\
\
- **Listing agents.** Turn the approved brochure into a direct PDF link for buyer follow-up.\
- **Open-house teams.** Put a QR code in front of a brochure and keep the destination current after printing.\
- **Brokerage marketers.** Publish a finished property microsite through static website hosting.\
- **Commercial teams.** Share plans, prospectuses and related files as a single portfolio-style destination.\
\
## What you get\
\
### Publish the artifact you already have\
\
A property does not need to be rebuilt as a website just because it needs a URL. HTML, PDFs and images can each be the destination when that format is the clearest answer for the reader.\
\
- A single HTML file can go online without being wrapped in a ZIP.\
- A site folder or ZIP keeps its own photos, styles, maps and scripts together.\
- PDFs specifically are capped at 512 KB on the free plan, below the 25 MB limit that applies to everything else.\
\
### Print one code before every detail is final\
\
A QR code points to the address, not to one frozen deployment. That means the sign or handout can keep working while the page, brochure or schedule behind it changes.\
\
- on every plan, including the free one.\
- The same site URL survives every re-publish.\
- Use the editable QR destination pattern for any printed property handout.\
\
### Choose public, gated or time-limited\
\
A public listing and a private seller presentation do not have the same audience. Start with a normal link, then use plan controls when the material should be restricted.\
\
- Password protection starts on Starter and covers the page plus its assets.\
- Expiring links start on Starter for an embargo, review window or concluded listing.\
- Free sites are noindex; intentional search visibility starts on Starter.\
\
### Keep old messages useful\
\
Listing material is forwarded and reopened. Updating the deployment in place reduces the chance that an early recipient keeps circulating a superseded price sheet or schedule.\
\
- Publish up to 25 revisions a day on the free plan.\
- Rollback begins on Pro when a previous version was the correct one.\
- Every deploy receives the security check before more people find an exposed file.\
\
## What the free plan includes\
\
The free plan is enough for one active listing page or brochure link, with no card and an HTTPS address.\
\
- 1 live site on a real free plan, not a trial of a paid one, and no card to start.\
- Up to 25 MB per upload and 25 MB of storage across the account.\
- 5,000 visits and 5 GB of traffic a month.\
- HTTPS with a real certificate, issued and renewed for you.\
- Up to 25 publishes a day, so you can iterate without asking permission.\
- The deploy-time security check, which reads what you published and warns about a stray .env file, a .git folder, a private key or an API key left in your JavaScript.\
- A small Droply badge in the corner of the page. Removing it starts on Starter.\
- Free sites are served noindex, so search engines do not list them. Search visibility starts on Starter.\
- The address stays the same when the price, photos, schedule or document changes.\
\
## Drive is for file collaboration; a hosted link is for the handoff\
\
Google Drive is the better choice when colleagues need to edit, comment on or organize source files together. A hosted link is a cleaner public destination when a buyer should open the finished page or brochure without seeing a drive interface or a permission workflow.\
\
- **What the buyer opens.** Droply: The published page, PDF or image at its own HTTPS address. Google Drive link: A Drive file viewer governed by the file's sharing role.\
- **Anyone-with-link access.** Droply: A public link by default; password protection begins on Starter. Google Drive link: Drive supports Anyone with the link, with Viewer, Commenter or Editor roles.\
- **Replacing a PDF.** Droply: Re-publish to the same site address. Google Drive link: Manage versions, then Upload new version, keeps one Drive file link.\
- **Old versions.** Droply: Rollback begins on Pro. Google Drive link: A Drive version may be deleted after 30 days or 100 newer versions unless Keep forever is chosen.\
- **Printed QR destination.** Droply: The QR points at the site address and survives revisions. Google Drive link: A QR can point at the Drive share URL, with Drive permissions still controlling access.\
- **Best fit.** Droply: Buyer-facing finished material, custom presentation and a stable public address. Google Drive link: Internal file storage, commenting, editing and access by Google account.\
\
Google Drive rows checked 8 September 2026 against Google's file-sharing guide and its file-version guide. Sharing roles, version retention and product behavior can change.\
\
## When Droply is the wrong choice\
\
Use the brokerage, MLS, CRM or transaction platform for the records and workflows it is responsible for. A hosted static page can present approved information, but it cannot become the system that synchronizes or governs the listing.\
\
- You need live MLS synchronization, saved searches, account-specific listings or a database-backed property search.\
- You are handling contracts, identification, financial records or other sensitive transaction documents. Use the approved transaction system, not a public site.\
- Several colleagues need to edit the source brochure together. Keep the working file in Drive or the design tool and publish only the approved result.\
- You need a database, a login system, or code that runs on the server. Droply serves files; it does not execute your application.\
- You want a build to run on every push to a repository. Droply has no Git integration and no CI: you build locally and upload the result.\
- You are running WordPress or another PHP application. A static export of it can be hosted here, but the application itself cannot.\

## Frequently asked questions\
\
### How do I make a real estate listing into a link?

Upload the finished HTML page, ZIP, PDF brochure or image, choose the property address and publish. For a document-only workflow, PDF to link gives the brochure a direct browser URL.

### Can I make a QR code for a property brochure?

Yes. Publish the brochure, then use PDF to QR code. The printed code points to the stable site address, so a replacement brochure does not require a replacement code.

### Can I change a listing price without changing the link?

Yes. Replace the page or document behind the existing site. Anyone opening the earlier text, email or QR code reaches the current deployment.

### Can I use the property address as the subdomain?

You can request an available subdomain that follows the naming rules. Avoid putting sensitive client information into a public address, and use a brand or listing reference when the street address should not be exposed.

### Can a seller presentation be password protected?

Yes, from Starter. The password is checked before the page and supporting files are served. Do not use a static site for highly sensitive transaction records even with a password.

### Can a listing link expire after the property sells?

Yes, from Starter. Choose a duration or date. You can also replace the content with an updated status when keeping the address useful is better than switching it off.

### Will a free property page show in Google?

No. Free sites are served noindex. Indexing starts on Starter if search discovery is part of the listing strategy and the content is appropriate for public search.

### Can I connect a brokerage or campaign domain?

Yes, from Pro. Verify the domain and point it at the provided target; HTTPS issuance and renewal are handled automatically.

### Does this replace my MLS or real estate website?

No. It publishes a static page or file. Use the MLS, CRM and brokerage site for synchronized inventory, lead routing and required records, and use this for a separate finished artifact when that helps.

### Can I host a photo gallery and video?

Yes when the gallery is part of static browser-ready files and the upload fits the plan limits. Compress media for phone connections and upload the folder intact so its relative paths keep working.\
