What Goes in Your ZIP
Bundle your entire website into a single ZIP file. We extract it, preserve your folder structure, and serve every file at the correct path automatically.
- index.html-- Main entry point (required)
- css/
- style.css
- js/
- app.js
- images/
- logo.png
- hero-bg.jpg
- fonts/
- custom.woff2
index.html is Required
Your ZIP must contain an index.html file at the root level. This is the entry point visitors see when they access your website URL.
Any Folder Structure Works
Use any folder hierarchy you want. Your file at css/style.css will be served at yoursite.dplooy.com/css/style.css.
All File Types Supported
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images (JPG, PNG, SVG, WebP), fonts (WOFF, WOFF2, TTF), JSON, XML, and more. If it belongs on a website, we support it.
Auto Path Resolution
All relative paths in your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files work automatically. We preserve the exact same structure from your ZIP, so every link, image, and script loads correctly.
Deploy in Under a Minute
No complicated setup, no build tools, no CLI. Just three quick steps and your website is live with a custom URL and free SSL.

ZIP Deploy vs Multi-File Upload
Two ways to deploy your website. Choose what works best for your workflow.
ZIP Deploy
One file, one click
- Deploy in seconds, not minutes
- Single file upload - no steps to follow
- Full folder structure preserved automatically
- Perfect for pre-built or exported sites
- Great for frameworks with build output
Multi-File Upload
Pick the folder itself
- Best while you're still working locally — no zipping step between edits
- Choose the project folder straight from the file picker
- Same extraction, same path preservation, same limits
- Skips the round trip of compressing a folder you're about to change again
Choose what works for you — both methods give you the same fast hosting with free SSL and a custom subdomain. Folder upload has its own walkthrough on the multi-file website page. Deploying a single HTML file instead? That's single page hosting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should be in my ZIP file?
Your ZIP should contain all the files for your website: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, and any other assets. The most important requirement is that an index.html file must be at the root level of the ZIP (not inside a subfolder).
What's the maximum ZIP file size?
Free plan: up to 50MB. Plus and Pro plans: up to 500MB. That's the size of the ZIP itself; once unpacked, its files count toward your storage (50MB on Free, 500MB on Plus, 5GB on Pro), and each file inside can be up to 5MB on Free, 50MB on Plus and 100MB on Pro.
How many files can the ZIP contain?
Free plan: 50 files. Plus plan: 100 files. Pro plan: no practical limit. The count is taken after extraction, so a ZIP that packs more files than your plan allows is rejected even when it is comfortably under the size limit.
Does my ZIP need an index.html?
Yes, your ZIP must contain an index.html file at the root level. This is the entry point that visitors see when they access your website URL. Without it, the deployment will fail.
What if I zip my project's source code instead of the built site?
dplooy notices before anything goes live. A ZIP that holds React, Vite, Next.js, Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro or Angular source is not published as a blank page. You get the build commands for your framework and the name of the folder to upload instead.
What file types are supported inside the ZIP?
We support all common web file types: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images (JPG, PNG, GIF, SVG, WebP), fonts (WOFF, WOFF2, TTF, OTF), JSON, XML, TXT, PDF, and more. Basically anything you'd use in a static website.
Can I update my website after deploying?
Yes! You can re-deploy by uploading a new ZIP file to replace the existing site. Pro users can also use the built-in code editor to modify individual files and upload new assets without re-deploying the entire ZIP.
Is ZIP deploy a free or paid feature?
ZIP deploy is available on all plans including the free tier. Free plan allows up to 50MB ZIPs with 3 total projects. Plus and Pro plans offer larger file limits and more projects.
How do file paths work after extraction?
All paths are preserved exactly as they appear in your ZIP. If you have a file at images/logo.png in your ZIP, it will be accessible at yoursite.dplooy.com/images/logo.png. Relative paths in your HTML and CSS will work automatically.
Can I turn a ZIP file into a website for free?
Yes. ZIP to website works on the free plan: a ZIP up to 50MB, 3 sites, free SSL and your own yourname.dplooy.com URL, no credit card. Free sites stay online for 3 days; Plus and Pro keep them up for good.
Can I preview a website from a ZIP file online?
Yes. Upload the ZIP and you get a live URL where the site runs exactly as visitors will see it — every page, image and script, on any device. Send the link to preview it with a client or a friend; there is nothing to install.
Where can I upload a ZIP of my website and get a live link instantly?
Right here. Drop the ZIP on your dplooy dashboard and you get a live https link like yourname.dplooy.com in seconds, free. See every screen.
My ZIP's index.html is inside a folder — will it work?
Yes, if the whole site sits inside one top-level folder: dplooy uses that folder as the site root, so zipping the folder itself works. Otherwise index.html must be at the root of the ZIP. A ZIP of React, Vue or Vite source gets the build steps instead of an error.
How do I upload a ZIP file to create a website?
Three steps from your dplooy dashboard:
- 1Drop the ZIP on the box that says Drop anything. We figure out the rest.
- 2When asked What do you want to do with this ZIP?, choose ZIP to site.
- 3Pick your address, like
yourname.dplooy.com, and click Deploy.
The full walkthrough shows every screen.
