HTML hosting
Free HTML hosting that stays on one subdomain
An HTML file does not need a virtual machine. It needs a public URL, the CSS and images beside it, and a host that will not run whatever else someone uploads.
What you can publish
Pagepod accepts index.html and the files a browser can use on its own: stylesheets, scripts, SVG, photographs, and fonts. Put the linked files in the same site and use ordinary relative paths. A page that points at ./styles.css keeps working after you publish it.
There is no build step to rent. If the page opens from a folder on your computer, it opens the same way on your subdomain. That covers portfolios, event pages, documentation, school projects, and small landing pages.
What free HTML hosting should not include
Shared servers often accept PHP because it is convenient, then discover a file manager or a forgotten script that can read every account. Pagepod does not offer that convenience. Executable extensions are rejected before they are stored, and nothing in the site folder is handed to an interpreter.
The tradeoff is honest. A form that needs a database, a login, or mail from the server will not run here. Those belong in an application host. A page that is HTML does not.
How the address works
You choose a short name. The site is served only at that hostname, for example studio.pagepod.me. It is not a folder on the marketing site. Visitors, cookies, and search engines see a separate host, which is the same boundary the browser uses for security.
Quotas are part of the free offer: 2 MB on a single file, 25 MB and 80 files on a site. That is enough for a real page and small enough that one project cannot crowd out the rest.
