What makes HTMLaunch different

⚡

30 seconds. That is it.

Sign in, drop your files, click publish. Your site is live before you finish reading this paragraph. Other hosts need 15 minutes of setup, account creation, and settings before you see anything.

🔒

You own everything

Your files live in your own GitHub account, not ours. No lock-in, no export process, no migration headaches. If you stop using HTMLaunch tomorrow, your site keeps running without us.

💰

Actually free. No tricks.

No credit card asked. No trial that expires in 14 days. No hidden bandwidth cap that triggers a bill. Free means free, today and next year.

🌎

Enterprise-grade speed

Your site runs on the same global Microsoft CDN that serves millions of production websites. World-class uptime and performance, the kind companies pay thousands a month for, included at no cost.

Frequently asked questions

Is this really free?

Yes. HTMLaunch publishes your site to GitHub Pages, which is free hosting 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 publishing 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 publish.

Can I get a shorter name like mysite.com?

Yes, if you want one. It’s optional. After you publish, we suggest a few short names and you can claim one in a single click. We handle everything for you, no second account, no confusing settings, no jargon. Your free GitHub Pages link always keeps working too.
