boomurl vs the old way
Host a single HTML file and get a public link
You made one .html file and you just want a link to share. Emailing the file, zipping it, or spinning up a repo is overkill. Drop it on boomurl instead.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I turn an HTML file into a website link?
- Go to boomurl.com, drag your .html file onto the page, choose a name, and enter the 6-digit code emailed to you. You get a live HTTPS URL like boomurl.site/your-name you can share anywhere.
- Will my links and images work?
- Inline and absolute links work as-is. If your page references local CSS, JS, or images, drag the whole folder (with an index.html) instead of just the one file so everything resolves.
- Is there a size limit?
- Each site can be up to 50 MB and 500 files. A single HTML file is far under that.
