hstd
For designers, photographers and makers

A portfolio that is just online. No platform in the way.

You made the site, or had it made. It should load fast, look like yours and not carry anyone else's badge. hstd hosts the files and gets out of the way.

Free for 3 sites on hstd.app. No card needed.

Sound familiar?

  • Website builders that put their logo on your work and their limits on your layout.
  • Slow galleries because the host is a general-purpose platform.
  • Renewing hosting, certificates and plugins for a site that never changes.

hstd is the opposite of all three. Files in, live URL out, you keep the publish button.

How it works here

  1. 01

    Upload the folder

    HTML, CSS, images. Straight from your export, your template or your designer.

  2. 02

    Check the preview

    Every upload is a version with its own link. Look before it goes live.

  3. 03

    Connect your domain

    One CNAME record. HTTPS is automatic and stays renewed.

Questions people ask

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, on Pro and Studio. Add the domain, create one CNAME and one TXT record, and HTTPS is issued automatically on the first visit.

How big can my site be?

Free gives 50 MB and 25 MB per upload. Pro gives 5 GB and 100 MB uploads, enough for large image galleries.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. If you have a folder with an index.html in it, you can host it. Many people export from a design tool or ask an AI to write the site.

Is there a hstd badge on my site?

No. Your site is your site, on the free plan too.

Ready when you are.

Your first site can be live before the kettle boils.
