Built a simple HTML site? I'll host it for nothing. Need something changed? I'll do it myself, large or small, for a flat £3. Or send me your new files and I'll upload them free.
§01 — The offer
Hosting is free. I make changes for £3 each. Or send your own files and I upload them for nothing. Keep scrolling; the cards stack.
Give me your HTML files. I'll put them online and keep them there.
Tell me what you want changed, large or small. I personally make it and put it live.
Already made the changes yourself? Send me the updated files and I'll upload them, no charge.
§02 — Also available
If your site is on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or anything else, there are two ways to move it here. Either way it ends up as plain HTML: every page, image and font, with the links fixed. Then it's hosted free.
The converter is software I wrote myself. It's free for anyone hosted with me and runs on Mac. Need Windows or Linux? Just ask.
§03 — How it works
Email me your HTML site. A zip is perfect, or point me at a folder.
Hosted under your own domain with HTTPS. You get a link back when it's live.
Email what you want changed and I'll do it for £3. Or send updated files and I upload them free.
I make it live and reply when it's done. £3 if I do the work, £0 if you send the files.
“You're talking to me, not a queue. I read every email myself, and I'm the one who does the work.” Dan · founder, support team & the entire staff

Every one a simple HTML site. These are sample designs made for this page, so hover or tap one to open it up.
§06 — Why people pick this
It's for people who want a simple website online without paying monthly fees or learning a dashboard.
No £10-a-month bill ticking away. If your site sits still for a year, you pay nothing for a year.
No portals, no tickets, no waiting on hold. Write what you want, send, done.
Small changes usually go live the same day. Bigger ones within 48 hours.
I'm Dan. I'm in Somerset. You're talking to me, not a queue.
Your files are yours. Walk away whenever and I'll send everything across.
I host static HTML sites. If your job needs WordPress, a database or a full shop, I'll tell you up front.
§07 — Where your site actually lives
Your site runs on a server I rent from Hetzner, in their data centre in Falkenstein, Germany. Not on a machine in my house.
A lot of “one-person hosting” quietly runs off home broadband and a desktop tower. If the power cuts out or the router resets, the site goes down with it. That's not how this works.
Hetzner Online is a German hosting company. Their data centre park has redundant UPS and backup power, a redundant feed from the substation, N+2 cooling, 24/7 video surveillance and electronic access control. It's certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 by an outside auditor, SOCOTEC. And being in Germany means your files stay inside the EU, where GDPR applies.

THANK YOU · NO MONTHLY FEE
§08 — Pricing
You'll always see the price before any work starts. Pay by bank transfer or PayPal.
§09 — The promises
01I reply myself, usually the same day. There's no support queue, because there's no queue.
02The price is agreed before any work starts. You'll never get a number you didn't see coming.
03Your files are always yours. Ask, and I'll send the lot. No fees, no fuss, no hard feelings.
04If I'm not the right fit for your project, I'll tell you on day one and suggest who might be.
§10 — Kind words
Fling the top card away, or press next. Sample testimonials, shown for demonstration.
“I was paying a website builder every month for a site I barely touched. Now it costs me nothing, and when I need a change it's done the same afternoon.”
“One email, three quid, done. I don't have time to learn a dashboard. I've got a van full of tools.”
“My whole portfolio came off a builder platform and it actually loads faster now. Brilliant.”
“I update the files myself and just send them over. Uploaded within the hour, free. Can't argue with that.”
§11 — The small print, out loud
Can't see yours? Email me and I'll answer it myself.
Static HTML websites: sites built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images. If your site is a folder of files you can open in a browser, I can host it. I don't host WordPress, databases or full e-commerce shops.
Yes. Hosting costs you nothing. I only charge £3 when you ask me to change something. If you never want a change, you never pay anything.
One self-contained job from one email. Updating a phone number is one change. Swapping three photos in one email is also one change. If an email asks for ten unrelated things across the whole site, I'll come back to you and we'll agree a fair number.
Send me your updated files: a zip, a folder link, whatever's easiest. I'll upload them and put them live. No charge, ever. The £3 only applies when you want me to do the work.
No. Your site runs on a server I rent from Hetzner, in their ISO/IEC 27001-certified data centre in Falkenstein, Germany. I run the business from Somerset, but your site doesn't depend on my home internet or power.
Bank transfer or PayPal. I send a short note confirming what's being done and the amount before I start.
I'll send you the full set of your website files and you take them anywhere you like. No fees, no fuss.
Yes. I'll turn your existing website into plain HTML for £5, then host it here for free. Send me the address of your current site and I'll do the rest. Or ask for my converter and do it yourself, free.
Yes. My not-for-profit web design service, LaunchSite, builds websites for free and hosts them here. Email me and ask.
