Website hosting

Website hosting for people who just need the site up

Most “website hosting” still assumes you wanted a server. SiteHost assumes you wanted a website: pages, images, a domain, and a padlock in the browser.

What you do

Export or zip the site you already have — from a builder, a designer, or a folder of HTML — and upload it. We publish it to a live address.

What we do

Serving the files, HTTPS, and the option to attach the domain you bought at a registrar. If the site later needs a database, that can be added; it is not required to get online.

What this is not

It is not a website builder. We do not design the site for you. Bring the files (or a developer who has them) and we host them.

Questions

I only have HTML files. Is that enough?

Yes. A folder with index.html is a complete website for SiteHost. Zip it and upload.

Can I use a domain I already own?

Yes. After the site is live you add the domain in settings and create the DNS records we show you. HTTPS is issued once those records verify.
