Host a Vite app on drophost

drophost hosts a Vite production build when you zip dist/ with index.html.There is no Node runtime—static assets only—so run the build locally or in CI first, then drop the zip. Free covers HTML sites within 2 MB on one project; Starter at €5/mo adds passwords, custom domains, and more storage. Prefer a named subdomain so /assets paths resolve, and replace the zip to keep the same preview URL.Host a Vite static build

  • Zip dist/ with index.html
  • No Node runtime
  • Named subdomain recommended

How to do it

  1. 1. Build the Vite app

    Produce a dist folder with index.html.

  2. 2. Zip dist/

    Include assets so relative paths work.

  3. 3. Drop it on Website

    Use a named subdomain for asset paths.

Export first

drophost serves static files only. Server middleware, API routes, and SSR adapters will not run. A client-rendered SPA or SSG export with index.html, JS, CSS, and hashed assets is the right fit. Confirm the build opens locally before you upload the zip.

Asset paths

Use a named drophost.space subdomain (or a custom domain on paid plans) so absolute paths like /assets/index.js resolve correctly. Root-relative assets break on anonymous paths; named hosts keep Vite’s default base working for previews and stakeholder demos.

Iterate without a new link

Replace the dist zip on the same project when you fix a bug or tweak UI. Reviewers keep one bookmark through critique rounds. Agents can call publish_site through MCP with an API key; humans can upload in the browser with no git connection required.
