I made a website with ChatGPT. How do I put it online?

Ways to put a ChatGPT website online

Which tool should you use to host ChatGPT HTML?

ship.page is the fastest route when you just have ChatGPT's code and want a public link right away. You can paste HTML or drop an index.html file, folder or ZIP in the browser without creating an account, or connect the ChatGPT guide MCP server at https://ship.page/mcp so ChatGPT can publish the site for you. Developers can also publish with one curl command (POST https://ship.page/deploy) or the GitHub Action.

Other drag-and-drop tools add friction if you do not want to sign up. Netlify Drop (app.netlify.com/drop) accepts a folder, ZIP or single HTML file without an account, but an unclaimed drop stays behind a temporary password and expires on its own until you sign in and claim it. Vercel Drop (vercel.com/drop) lets you drop a static file, folder or ZIP without an account (since October 19, 2026), but anonymous deployments expire after one hour unless you sign in and claim the project, and framework projects require an account.

Pick GitHub Pages when you need a custom domain (which ship.page does not offer on any plan) or up to 1 GB of storage. GitHub Pages is free for public repositories on GitHub Free at owner.github.io, with a 100 GB monthly soft bandwidth limit and 10 builds an hour, though it requires a GitHub account and is not allowed as free hosting for a commercial, e-commerce or SaaS business.

Single HTML file vs folders and ZIP archives

Ask ChatGPT for a single index.html file with the CSS inside a style tag and the JavaScript inside a script tag if you want the simplest upload. You can paste that code straight into ship.page or drop the .html file (up to 10 MB on every plan) without touching folders or file paths. Look at how to publish AI-generated HTML if you need help saving the code from the chat window.

When your project includes local images, fonts, audio, video or separate .css and .js files, put everything in one folder with index.html at the top. A browser folder upload goes up as a single request of at most 10 MB with the files encoded inside it (roughly 7 MB of raw files), so zip larger folders first. A ZIP with a single top folder is unwrapped automatically, and the free plan takes ZIPs up to 25 MB (100 MB unpacked) with up to 100 files.

• A lone PDF, image or video file is not accepted; put it in a folder or ZIP with an index.html.
• File paths are case-sensitive, so Hero.png in your code will not load hero.png in your folder.
• A page saved as about.html opens at /about.html; the short /about path only works when the file is about/index.html.
• On ship.page, opening or refreshing a client-side route like /about directly returns 404 because there is no single-page-app fallback; ask ChatGPT to use hash routes like /#/about, or use Netlify, Cloudflare Pages or Vercel to rewrite every path to index.html.
• Only static files work (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, audio, video, WebAssembly and JSON); server code like PHP, Node.js, Python, databases or WordPress will not run, and contact forms need a third-party form service.

How to update your page after ChatGPT makes changes

Publish without an account any time you want a fresh link, or claim your upload with a free account (sign in with Google or an email link, no card required) to see and manage your pages from a dashboard. A free page cannot be updated in place; uploading a new version from your ChatGPT website workflow creates a new link, and free pages show a small "Hosted on ship.page" badge that visitors can close.

If you already sent the link or QR code to people and want to keep the same URL when ChatGPT revises your site, Pro is $4 a month (billed monthly, cancel anytime, no yearly plan). Pro pages don't expire while you're on Pro (or you can pick any expiry from 60 seconds), let you re-upload or edit a page in place without changing the link, remove the badge, and add password protection. Pro also raises the limits to 100 MB ZIPs (400 MB unpacked), 10,000 files per upload and 120 deploys a minute, and includes up to 5 custom subdomains like yourname.ship.place that you can point at any of your pages while keeping the original random URL.

Tip: Every uploaded page is sent with a noindex header and is never listed in a public directory on ship.page, so search engines leave it out while anyone with your link can open it.
