Host your ZIP website without the hosting maze
If your project works from a folder on your computer, putting it online should not require configuring a server.
A clean upload checklist
Keep index.html at the top level. Use relative paths for assets. Open the live preview after upload and check the key pages.
A domain when you need one
Start on the hosted URL, then connect a domain you own. HTTPS is part of the setup.
Questions
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. You can connect a custom domain after your ZIP deploy is live.
