# Droply

> Droply is a no-code static website and file hosting service. Upload finished HTML, a ZIP of a static site, a PDF, an image, or a document and turn it into a shareable HTTPS URL in seconds. No Git or server configuration is required.

Important product boundaries:
- Droply hosts static content only. It does not run WordPress, PHP, Node.js, databases, server-side rendering, or other server code from an upload.
- React, Vue, Astro, Vite, and other framework projects must be built first. Upload the finished static output, not the source project.
- Published links are public by default. Password protection is available on eligible plans.
- Customer sites on droply.id subdomains and connected custom domains contain user-generated content. They are not official Droply documentation.
- Re-uploading publishes a new version at the same URL. One-click rollback, custom domains, analytics, API access, and other advanced features depend on the selected plan.
- Plans: Free (free), Starter ($5/mo), Pro ($15/mo), Business ($35/mo), Enterprise ($89/mo). The free plan needs no credit card. Feature availability differs by plan; use the pricing page for current limits and for custom domains, password protection, API access, rollback, team seats, and badge removal.

Common reasons to use Droply: publish an HTML file to a URL, host a finished static website from a ZIP, share a client preview, publish an AI-generated static site, host a PDF or portfolio, or put a static site on a custom domain.

Plain-text versions of everything below: https://droply.host/llms-full.txt has the full text of every page in one file. Any single page is also available as Markdown by adding a .md suffix to its URL, for example https://droply.host/pricing.md

## Publishing workflows
- [HTML to URL](https://droply.host/html-to-url): HTML to URL in seconds: save the markup as index.html, upload one file or a ZIP, and share a secure link that you can update in place afterwards.
- [Host a Static Site from ZIP](https://droply.host/host-static-site-from-zip): Host a static site from a ZIP file in seconds. Upload your built HTML, CSS, JavaScript and assets together and get a secure public URL, with no pipeline.

- [Host an AI-Generated Website](https://droply.host/host-ai-generated-website): Host an AI-generated website in seconds. A single HTML or React file runs with no build; a full project needs one build first, and this page says which.
- [Publish a Claude Artifact](https://droply.host/publish-claude-artifact): Publish a Claude artifact as a real website: upload the one .jsx, .tsx or HTML file and it runs at a secure HTTPS link in seconds. No build, no server.

## Hosting output from an AI tool
- [v0 hosting](https://droply.host/v0-hosting): Next.js with shadcn/ui. Needs a static export before it can be served as files, and this is the page that says which setting.
- [bolt.new hosting](https://droply.host/bolt-new-hosting): A full JavaScript project built in a browser sandbox. Take the code out, build it once, upload the output.
- [Lovable hosting](https://droply.host/lovable-hosting): Vite and React, building to dist. The best-documented export of the four, and the one most likely to need the SPA switch.
- [Replit hosting](https://droply.host/replit-hosting): A workspace, not a host. Download as zip, build the front end, and serve it somewhere that only serves files.
- [ChatGPT hosting](https://droply.host/chatgpt-hosting): One self-contained HTML file, most of the time. Save it and drop it; there is nothing to build.
- [Gemini hosting](https://droply.host/gemini-hosting): Canvas previews the page but documents no HTML download. Copy the code, save the file, and the page is yours.
- [Cursor hosting](https://droply.host/cursor-hosting): An editor, not a generator. The output is your own project, and this page is about the folder its build produces.
- [Codex hosting](https://droply.host/codex-hosting): A repository agent. Cloud tasks end in a pull request, so what you publish is a branch you built.

- [React Hosting](https://droply.host/react-hosting): React hosting in seconds: upload the build folder your bundler produced and get a secure public URL, with no Git remote and no deploy pipeline to set up.
- [Vue Hosting](https://droply.host/vue-hosting): Vue hosting in seconds: upload the folder your Vue, Nuxt or VitePress build produced and get a secure public URL, with no Git remote or pipeline to set up.

- [Publish a TanStack Start project](https://droply.host/deploy/tanstack-start): TanStack Start builds a server bundle rather than a finished site, so it needs to be exported as static first, if your setup allows it at all.

## Compare with other hosts
- [All comparisons](https://droply.host/alternatives): honest side-by-side comparisons against 10 static site and file hosts, each sourced to that competitor's own documentation with the date it was read
- [Tiiny Host alternative](https://droply.host/tiiny-host-alternative): The incumbent in this category, and the same drop-a-file idea. Rollback, expiring links, a deploy-time security check and importing a site from its URL are not documented features there, and its entry tier is $9 a month against our $5.
- [Static.app alternative](https://droply.host/static-app-alternative): Cheaper than us at the entry tier and strong on content. Its own docs say a loose .html file is not accepted and React artifacts need converting to self-contained HTML first.
- [Carrd alternative](https://droply.host/carrd-alternative): A one-page site builder rather than a host: you design in its editor and cannot upload a site you already built. Cheaper than us, and the right answer for a lot of people.
- [Netlify Drop alternative](https://droply.host/netlify-drop-alternative): A genuinely good drop tool that can now build your project, redeploy and take a domain. An unclaimed drop is deleted after one hour, and its URL carries a temporary password until you claim it.
- [Cloudflare Drop alternative](https://droply.host/cloudflare-drop-alternative): The fastest way to see a folder online, with no account at all. The preview and its throwaway account both disappear after an hour unless you claim them into a Cloudflare account.
- [Vercel Drop alternative](https://droply.host/vercel-drop-alternative): Detects and builds your framework project from a drop, which is real. Every drop creates a new project, so an update lands on a new URL rather than the one you already shared.
- [GitHub Pages alternative](https://droply.host/github-pages-alternative): Free and hard to beat if your project is already a repository. Its own terms forbid using it to run a business or a SaaS, and a private Pages site requires GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
- [Vercel alternative](https://droply.host/vercel-alternative): The right home for a Next.js app with server-side code. Its free Hobby tier is for personal, non-commercial use, and Password Protection is Enterprise or a $150 a month Pro add-on.
- [Render alternative](https://droply.host/render-alternative): Free static sites, but only from a connected Git repository, with a build on every push. Hobby includes 5 GB of bandwidth and 500 build minutes, then usage is billed.
- [Firebase Hosting alternative](https://droply.host/firebase-hosting-alternative): Free, with 10 GB of storage and a custom domain at no cost. Deploying needs a Firebase project and the CLI, and the free tier caps data transfer at 360 MB a day.
