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.
After running a repl, your repl will be hosted at the URL provided in the result tab.
URL Format
The repl will be hosted with the following URLs:
https://REPL-NAME--USERNAME.repl.cohttp://REPL-NAME.USERNAME.repl.co
Where REPL-NAME is the name of the repl and USERNAME is the owner's username.
If you create a repl with a title that matches your username (i.e. repl.it/@username/username), it will be hosted at:
https://USERNAME.repl.co
If an anonymous repl is created, the username used in the URL will be five-nine.
Note that if your username contains underscores _, they will be converted to dashes in the URL.
Updating Websites
Changes made to your repl will not be reflected in the live version until the web project is re-run. Running a web repl will update its live version.
Note that a repl's public link will persist, even after the repl has been deleted. You can clear a repl of its server code before deleting it in order to prevent it from loading.
