Frequently asked questions
- Can I publish without an account?
- No. Every site belongs to an account so its link stays yours and abuse can be traced. Signing up takes an email address.
- Do I need a credit card?
- No. The free plan needs an email address and nothing else, and it never expires.
- What does “static” mean?
- Files the browser downloads and runs as they are: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts. JavaScript in the page can still call other services' APIs, but nothing runs on MicroHost's side.
- Where are sites hosted?
- Each site is its own project on Vercel’s global network, served over HTTPS.
- Can I use my own domain?
- Yes, on the paid plan. You add the domain in MicroHost and point its DNS records at it.
- What happens if I stop paying?
- You go back to the free plan. Your most recently published site stays live; the others show a “paused” page until you subscribe again, and nothing is deleted. Custom domains are disconnected and reconnect when you resubscribe. The free plan keeps 1 site live.
- How do I delete a site or my account?
- Open the site and choose Delete; its link name is held for you for 30 days. To delete everything, use the Danger zone on your Account page.
- How do I report a site?
- Use the report form, linked at the bottom of every page and from the bar on free sites. No account needed.
- Is my HTML stored in git or shown to anyone?
- No. Your files go to your site’s hosting and, for downloads and rollbacks, to private storage. They are never in a public repository.
- Can MicroHost run a backend or a database?
- No. Uploads with API routes, server code or PHP are refused with a prompt to ask Claude for a static version instead.
