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.
