How to host your Claude (Artifacts) website
Claude builds beautiful sites as Artifacts, but an Artifact lives inside Claude — you can't give a client a real URL to it. SiteDrop publishes the Artifact's code to your own link so it works like any normal website.
Publish your site free →Get it live in 5 steps
- Open the Artifact in Claude that contains your website.
- Switch the Artifact to its code view and copy the full HTML (plus any CSS or JavaScript it shows).
- Save it as index.html in a new folder, adding any separate asset files alongside it.
- Compress the folder into a .zip.
- Upload the .zip to SiteDrop and share the live link Claude could never give you.
What file types work
Claude Artifacts are almost always a single self-contained index.html with the CSS and JavaScript inlined — the easiest possible case for static hosting. If the Artifact pulls in an image or icon font by URL, download it into the same folder and point the tag at the local file so nothing depends on Claude staying online.
What breaks — and how to fix it
- The Artifact link you shared with a client stopped working.
An Artifact URL renders inside Claude and can change or expire. Publish the code with SiteDrop instead — a standalone URL you own doesn't depend on a Claude session.
- Fonts or icons look different once published.
The Artifact was loading them from a CDN your zip doesn't include. Either keep the public CDN <link> as-is, or download the font/icon file into the folder and reference it locally.
- You published the preview but it's empty.
You copied the rendered preview, not the source. Switch the Artifact to its code view (the </> toggle) and copy the HTML from there.
SiteDrop vs just using Netlify
Netlify is designed for repos and build pipelines; a one-file Claude Artifact needs none of that. Dragging a single HTML file into a general-purpose deploy tool is more account setup than the job warrants — SiteDrop is purpose-built for 'I have the files, put them online', so a self-contained Artifact is a 30-second upload with a real link and an optional custom domain.
Claude (Artifacts) hosting — FAQ
Why can't I just share the Claude Artifact link?
An Artifact link requires the viewer to load it inside Claude and can change or expire. Publishing the code with SiteDrop gives you a permanent, standalone URL you control.
The Artifact is a single self-contained HTML file — will that work?
Perfectly. Save it as index.html, zip it, upload. Self-contained Artifacts are the easiest case.
