How to host your Replit website
Replit is great for building, but its always-on hosting can sleep or add cost for a simple site. For a static site, you can download the files and publish them on SiteDrop instead.
Publish your site free →Get it live in 4 steps
- Open the Files panel in your Repl.
- Use the ⋮ menu to download the project as a zip — or, for a built site, export your static output folder (often dist or build).
- Make sure index.html is at the top level of the zip.
- Upload the zip to SiteDrop.
Replit hosting — FAQ
My Repl is a Node/Express server — will SiteDrop run it?
SiteDrop hosts static sites, not running servers. If your Repl is a backend app it won't execute here; export its static build output (the HTML/CSS/JS it produces) and upload that.
Why move off Replit hosting?
For a brochure or portfolio site you don't need a live server — static hosting is faster, doesn't sleep, and is cheaper. Replit is better kept for apps that actually need a backend.
