Hosting an exported site

An exported site is a finished website in a zip file. Unzip it and it is ready: you can open index.html straight from your computer to read it, or put the folder on any static web host to publish it. A static host is one that serves files as they are, with no program running; most are free for a site this size.

Cloudflare Pages

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, create a Pages project and choose to upload your files directly, rather than connecting a code repository.

2. Upload the unzipped folder. Cloudflare gives the site an address straight away, and you can add your own domain in the project’s settings.

3. To update the site, export again and upload the new folder to the same project.

The free plan allows files up to 25 MB and 20,000 files per site, which covers most spaces. A large video attached to a page is the thing most likely to go over.

GitHub Pages, Netlify and others

Anything that serves a folder of files works. Put the unzipped folder where the host expects it; there is no build step.
