Host your HTML resume online for free

Ways to host an HTML resume or single page online

Which tool should I use to host an HTML resume?

ship.page is the fastest way when you already have an HTML file and want a clean link a recruiter can open on a phone or laptop right now. You drop the file in the browser, get an HTTPS link in seconds without signing up, and every page sends a noindex header so search engines do not index your phone number or work history.

If you want to host your resume at a custom domain you own, or you already keep your resume in Git and do not mind a public repository, GitHub Pages is the better pick. It is free for public repositories on GitHub Free, supports custom domains, allows published sites up to 1 GB at owner.github.io with a 100 GB monthly soft bandwidth limit and 10 builds an hour, and is meant for personal or project pages rather than commercial, e-commerce or SaaS businesses.

Netlify Drop (app.netlify.com/drop) also accepts a folder, ZIP or single HTML file in the browser, where deploys under 50 MB work best and single files over 10 MB may get stuck. However, a site dropped without signing in stays behind a temporary password until you claim it with a Netlify account, and unclaimed drops expire on their own, so you cannot hand an unclaimed Netlify Drop link to a hiring manager.

What if I fix a typo after I send my resume link?

On the ship.page free plan, a free page cannot be updated in place, so uploading a fixed HTML file gives you a brand-new URL. That works fine before you send applications out, or when you only share the link in a message.

Once your link is printed on a PDF CV, a business card or a job application you already submitted, upgrade to Pro for $4 a month (monthly billing, cancel anytime). Pro pages never expire, let you re-upload or edit your page while keeping the exact same link, and remove the closable "Hosted on ship.page" badge.

• Claim up to 5 custom subdomains on Pro, like yourname.ship.place, and point them at any of your pages.
• Move a custom subdomain to a new page any time while the original random URL still works.
• Add password protection on Pro if you only want invited recruiters or guests to open the page.
• Pro raises the ZIP limit to 100 MB (400 MB unpacked) and 10,000 files per upload.

How to package images, fonts and a downloadable PDF

ship.page serves static files: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, audio, video, WebAssembly and JSON. A lone PDF, image or video file is not accepted by itself, so if you want a "Download PDF resume" button, put the PDF in the same folder as your index.html and link to it with a relative path.

File paths are case-sensitive, so if your HTML links to Resume.pdf, a file named resume.pdf will not load. Keep your folder under 100 files and 25 MB zipped on the free plan, or upload a folder directly if the encoded request is under 10 MB (roughly 7 MB of files).

• Name your main resume file index.html so it opens at the root of your link.
• A ZIP with a single top folder is unwrapped automatically on upload.
• Extra pages like projects.html open at /projects.html, or at /projects/ if placed in projects/index.html.
• Turn off .br or .gz pre-compression in build tools, because files are served as they are with no Content-Encoding.

Can I use the same workflow for a wedding invitation or local HTML file?

Yes, any self-contained HTML page works the exact same way when you want to turn HTML into a link. People use ship.page to share a local HTML file from a laptop, send a digital wedding invitation with a map and schedule, or hand a client a one-page prototype.

Because ship.page runs static files only (no PHP, Node.js, Python or database), wedding RSVPs or contact forms on a resume need a third-party form service or a mailto link. Every upload gets a downloadable PNG QR code on the success screen, which you can drop straight onto a printed save-the-date card.
