HTML link generator — paste HTML, get a shareable URL

It generates a link to a hosted page, not an anchor tag. If you searched for something like build a hyperlink in HTML, you want a reference on writing <a href="...">text</a> markup — that is a different task. This tool takes HTML you already have, stores the rendered output, and returns a URL that any browser can open. You are not writing a link inside a document; you are getting a link to the document itself.

By default dochost generates a short random slug — something like dochost.co/d/xk9q2 — so you get a link immediately without picking a name. On a paid plan you can replace that random slug with a custom one, for example dochost.co/d/card-grid-bug. Free-tier links use the auto-generated slug only. Either way the slug is the only thing that identifies the page; keep the URL private if the content is sensitive.

Yes, with one practical caveat. dochost stores and serves the exact HTML you pasted, so inline styles and <style> blocks render identically for every visitor. If your snippet references external resources — a CDN stylesheet, a web font, an image URL — those load from their original servers when the visitor opens the link. If an external resource goes offline or changes, that part of the page will look different. Self-contained HTML with no external dependencies is the most reliable choice.

Both, and the update happens at the same URL. Publishing anonymously hands back an edit link alongside the public one — open it, change the HTML, and everyone who already has the public URL sees the new version, so a typo does not cost you the link you have already pasted into Slack. Signed-in pages are editable from the dashboard, which is also where you delete one; deleting stops serving the page immediately. Free links still expire after seven days (3 days if published as private) on their own.

Generating the link is free — no account, no card, no trial countdown on the tool itself. What the free tier limits is time, not the page: a free link stays live for 7 days (3 days if published as private) and you can extend it before it expires, also free. Nothing is stripped out of your page in the meantime. Your markup is served as written, no ad banner is injected, and the link works for as many people as open it. Paying buys permanence and control — the URL stops expiring, and you can choose your own slug, put a password on the page, or remove the dochost footer link. For anything with a natural shelf life — a demo, a review, a mockup — the free version is the whole product.
