Frequently Asked Questions

dplooy is a web hosting platform that lets you deploy websites in under 60 seconds. With 9 different deploy methods — drag & drop, ZIP upload, Site Builder, GitHub, REST API, MCP Server, and more — you can go from files to a live URL instantly. Every site gets free SSL, a .dplooy.com subdomain, and analytics.

Under 60 seconds. Upload your files, pick a subdomain, and your site is live with SSL. Multi-file websites, ZIP uploads, and GitHub deploys are all processed immediately.

Websites: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and associated assets (images, fonts, SVGs, etc.). You can also host standalone files like PDFs and images. The Site Builder creates full websites without any file uploads at all.

1) Drag & Drop — drop a single HTML file. 2) Multi-File Upload — upload HTML + CSS + JS + assets together. 3) ZIP Deploy — upload a ZIP and it auto-extracts. 4) Site Builder — visual drag-and-drop builder with 19+ templates. 5) GitHub Deploy — connect a repo and deploy. 6) REST API — deploy programmatically via API endpoints. 7) MCP Server — deploy from AI tools like Claude Code. 8) GitHub Actions — CI/CD deploy on push. 9) AI Prompt Generator — describe your site and AI builds it.

Upload a ZIP file containing your website files (HTML, CSS, JS, images). dplooy automatically extracts the archive and serves your site. Make sure your main page is named index.html at the root of the ZIP.
