PageDrop is winding down. If that is where your single-page HTML lived, here is what the replacements actually are — including the ones that are not us.
Upload the .html you saved from PageDrop and get a fresh URL. No account needed.
PageDrop did one thing and did it well: paste a self-contained HTML page, get a link, browse what other people had built. As of 30 August 2026 its own banner says it is "winding down" — new uploads need an existing Creator Pass, passes stop being redeemable after 31 October 2026, and the site stays online only until the last existing page reaches its expiry. Nothing here is a criticism of it. It is a note that the thing you were relying on has an end date, and that pages you published there will go dark on a schedule you did not choose.
The useful question is not "which tool is best" but "which one matches the job PageDrop was doing for you" — because that job splits three ways, and the right answer is different for each.
Someone building small AI-generated demos had about a dozen pages on PageDrop: a couple of prototypes shared with clients, a browser game a friend keeps linking to, and a handful of one-off explainers that were only ever meant to last a week.
The one-off explainers need nothing. They were disposable when they were published and they are disposable now; letting them expire is the correct action.
The client prototypes need to move, and they need to keep working without being rebuilt. Each is one self-contained file, so the move is: open the page, save it, upload the file here, send the new URL. The markup is served as written, so the inline CSS and the JavaScript that made the prototype clickable still run.
The browser game is the one that actually matters, because it has readers. That one wants a permanent URL rather than another expiring one — which on dochost means a paid plan, and on Cloudflare Pages or Netlify means a free account and a slightly longer setup. Both are reasonable. What is not reasonable is republishing it somewhere that expires again in fourteen days and having this same afternoon back in a fortnight.
Both are "paste a single HTML page, get a link" tools, which is why the migration is short. The differences are narrow and mostly about what happens after you publish.
| dochost | PageDrop | |
|---|---|---|
| Accepting new pages | Open to anyone | Winding down — new uploads need an existing Creator Pass |
| Account needed to publish | No | No, but a Creator Pass now is |
| How long a free page lasts | 7 days | 3 days private, 14 days public |
| Permanent pages | Yes, on a paid plan | No — the site itself ends when the last page expires |
| Maximum page size | 50 MB (1 MB on free) | 16 MB |
| Public gallery, views and likes | Yes — Explore | Yes — Explore, and the better-populated one today |
| Editing a page without changing its URL | Yes | Not while it is winding down |
While PageDrop is still up, its Explore feed is the livelier place to be seen, and if all you need is three days of link it still works. Past that, the deciding fact is not a feature: one of these two is accepting new pages next year.
Ordered by how close each is to what PageDrop actually did. No invented prices for the others — check theirs before you commit, because free tiers move.
The closest match to the workflow: paste or upload one self-contained page, get a URL, and there is a public Explore feed if you want the page found. Same shape means the same limits — one document, not a folder of files, and no custom domain.
Drag-and-drop a zip and it serves the whole folder, so a page with a separate stylesheet or an assets directory survives the move intact. Heavier than PageDrop was: an account, a dashboard, and a project per page.
If the page is something people keep coming back to, this is the version that does not expire and does not cost anything at the traffic a single page pulls. It is a deploy platform: a git repository or Wrangler, and a build step you have to think about once.
Commit the HTML, turn Pages on, and the URL is permanent and free. For a page you are going to keep editing, version history is a genuine upgrade on any of these. Needs a GitHub account and enough git to push a file, which is the whole reason people used PageDrop instead.
