drophost
Share a website preview on drophost
- Clickable HTML, not a PDF of the site
- Same URL through review rounds
- Optional password on paid plans
How to do it
1. Export the site
Zip the HTML export so index.html is at the root or one folder down.
2. Host it on drophost
Drop the zip on the Website tab and copy the URL into the client thread.
3. Replace each round
Upload the new export to the same project. The client bookmark still works.
One bookmark per project
Replace the zip when the design changes. The client keeps the same link instead of hunting v3 in email.
Private when it needs to be
Paid plans add a password so unfinished work stays off random forwards. Custom domains are there when the preview should look finished.
Client previews without staging drama
Publish an HTML export on drophost and send one preview URL. Free covers HTML sites on drophost.space with one project and 2 MB. Stakeholders click through the real layout instead of screenshots. Replace the zip after feedback; bookmarks keep working because the project URL does not change.
Password the preview before launch
drophost Starter at €5/mo password-protects previews, removes branding, and supports custom domains with 100 MB storage across 8 projects. Pro at €12/mo scales to 30 projects when many campaigns run in parallel. No account is required for reviewers who only need the link and password.
