drophost
Host a documentation site on drophost
- Zip with index.html

How to do it
1. Sign in and open the right tab
Switch to Website for HTML or a zip with index.html.
2. Upload and publish
drophost hosts a static docs export when you zip the folder with index.html. Good for quick previews and small public doc sites without a full Pages setup.
3. Share the live URL
Copy the HTTPS link. Replace the file later on the same project when you need updates.
Static only
No server-side search backends. The docs must run as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in the browser.
When to use Pages instead
Keep long-lived production docs on GitHub Pages or a docs host. Use drophost for fast shares and reviews.
