What makes HTMLaunch different

🔓

One-click sign-in

Sign in with GitHub in two seconds, with a single button click, not a registration form. Your site deploys to your own GitHub account, so you own everything with zero vendor lock-in.

💳

No credit card ever

You will never be asked for payment details. There is no premium tier, no upsell, and no surprise invoice. Free website hosting means free.

⚡

30-second setup

Traditional hosts take 15 minutes of config before your first deploy. HTMLaunch takes 30 seconds from first visit to live URL.

🏗

Built on GitHub Pages

Your site runs on Microsoft-backed GitHub infrastructure, the same CDN and uptime that powers millions of developer sites worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

Is this really free?

Yes. HTMLaunch deploys your site to GitHub Pages, which is free infrastructure provided by Microsoft. There is no trial period, no bandwidth cap that triggers billing, and no premium tier you are being funnelled into. Your free website hosting stays free.

What’s the catch?

There is no catch. HTMLaunch is an open-source tool, and you can read every line of the code on GitHub. We built it because deploying a simple website should not require signing up for yet another platform. The tool is free; the hosting is free; the source is public.

Do I need to know how to code?

Not at all. If you have HTML files, whether you wrote them, exported them from a website builder, or generated them with AI, you can host them for free with HTMLaunch. Just drag the files into the browser and click deploy.

Can I use my own domain name?

Yes. After deploying, you can point a custom domain to your free hosted site using a CNAME record. Your site starts on a htmlaunch.com subdomain, but you can switch to yourdomain.com at any time, still free.
