Hosting Static Web Pages

Web pages written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript can be hosted on Replit. HTML/CSS/JS repls are given a unique URL that can be shared with your friends, family, peers, and clients.

For deploying HTTP servers, you can use any framework so long as it can be imported or the port can be opened. However, we also provide templates for Ruby on Rails, Django, Node (Express), and Sinatra.

Enabling Always On

Repls typically go to sleep after a period of inactivity. To make sure that your Repl is restarted, you can use our Always On functionality.

Streaming native graphics using VNC

Replit offers virtual network computing (VNC) functionality. VNC is a mature virtual desktop protocol that allows your Repl to stream a native desktop to your web browser. This protocol allows native applications (developed in Python, Java, C++, etc.) to open desktop windows as they would on any physical computer.
