Created on 6 August, 2025 • Help • 9 views • 2 minutes read

Want to host your own HTML site without spinning up a server? LinkFox gives you a simple way to upload and share fully custom-coded static websites — perfect for landing pages, resumes, product demos, or digital portfolios.

⚠️ Important: LinkFox does not provide coding support. You’ll need some basic HTML/CSS skills and a completed static site ready to upload.

🔹 Step 1: Access the Static Sites Dashboard

Log into linkfox.us
From the left-hand sidebar, click Static Sites

You’ll be taken to the dashboard where all your uploaded sites are managed.

🔹 Step 2: Click to Create a New Site

In the upper-right corner, click the green + Static Site button This opens the site creation window.

🔹 Step 3: Prepare & Upload Your Site Files

📝 Create Your HTML File

You’ll need at least one index.html file. Here’s a simple template to get started:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Your Site Title</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="./css/styles.css"> </head> <body> <h1>Welcome to My Static Site!</h1> <p class='text-left' class='text-left' class='text-left'>This is a simple example of static site content.</p> </body> </html>

Save this file as index.html.

📁 Bundle Your Files into a ZIP

If your site has additional files (CSS, images, JavaScript, etc.):

Create a folder (e.g., my-static-site)
Place your index.html, /css/, /img/, etc. inside
Right-click the folder and select Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder

You’ll upload this .zip file in the next step.

🔹 Step 4: Upload Your Static Site

In the LinkFox upload window:

Click Choose File
Select your .zip file containing your static site

🔹 Step 5: Configure the Short URL

Enter a custom Short URL (e.g., linkfox.us/my-site)
Or leave it blank to auto-generate a random one

This will be your live URL once published.

🔹 Step 6: Launch Your Static Site

Click Create Static Site to upload and activate it.

That’s it — your HTML site is now live and shareable with the world! 🌍

🔧 Managing Your Static Sites

After launch, all your sites will appear under Static Sites in your dashboard.

From here you can:

🖥️ View site
✏️ Edit title or short URL
📁 Update files
📉 Check analytics
❌ Delete site

🧠 Pro Tips

🧪 Test your links and layout after uploading to ensure all assets load properly
📊 Use LinkFox’s analytics to track visits, engagement, and performance
📁 Always use relative paths in your HTML (e.g., ./css/styles.css)

TL;DR

Build your site → Zip the folder → Upload in Static Sites → Set a URL → Launch. You’ve just deployed a live HTML site — fast, simple, and 100% yours. 💼🦊
