Documentation
Publish your first site in under a minute.
HostX takes a folder of static files and gives back a live HTTPS URL. There is no build step, no runtime and no configuration file. Start with the quickstart.
Deployments
Every publish creates a new immutable deployment. A deployment is a manifest — a map of path to content hash — so files that did not change between publishes are stored once and uploaded never. Each deployment keeps its own permanent URL, which is what makes rollback safe: promoting an older deployment moves a pointer, it never moves bytes.
rollback({ site: "atlas-docs" })
→ atlas-docs.hostx.site now serves dep_71AARouting
Requests resolve in a fixed order: an exact file, then a directory index, then an extensionless .html match, then the site's not-found behaviour. You can serve /404.html, fall back to /index.html for a single-page app, or return a bare 404. Trailing slashes can be left alone, always added, or always removed.
Domains
Every site gets a hostx.site subdomain the moment it is created. To use your own domain, point a CNAME at domains.hostx.site and verify it — HostX checks DNS directly, then issues and renews the certificate for you.

VALUE domains.hostx.siteAnalytics
Views, visitors, requests and bandwidth, plus top pages, referrers, countries and devices. Visitors are counted with a daily-rotating hash of IP, user agent and site, held for 24 hours — no IP is stored and the hash is meaningless across days. There are no funnels, cohorts or session replay, and there will not be.
Limits
A request body may be up to 100 MB, a single file up to 25 MB, and a deployment up to 20,000 files. Larger sites should use the two-phase publish flow, which uploads only the files HostX does not already have.
What HostX does not do
HostX publishes static files. There is no server runtime, no database, no serverless functions, no background jobs and no code execution of any kind. If your site needs a server, HostX is the wrong tool — and saying so is cheaper for both of us than finding out later.
