Dochost is a web-based tool that turns a single HTML or Markdown file into a shareable link. A user pastes content or drops in a .html or .md file, and the page is published at its own dochost.co address. No account is required to start, which makes it quick for one-off shares.
The product was built around a common situation: an AI assistant such as ChatGPT or Claude produces something useful, like a pricing page, a project brief or a quiz, and it stays stuck inside a chat window. Dochost gives that output a URL that opens styled on any device, with nothing for the reader to install.
It is operated by Xhorizon Labs LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, and the company describes it as a focused tool rather than a big platform.
The flow has three steps: paste or upload, choose visibility, and get a link. Visibility is either Private, where only people with the link can view the page, or Public, where the page appears on the Explore section and can collect likes. HTML is served byte-for-byte as written, so inline CSS and JavaScript work.
Markdown is rendered to HTML with GitHub-flavored styling for tables, code and headings, and a live preview updates as you type. Published pages are served from a separate, locked-down content domain so scripts written by page authors cannot reach a viewer's session.
One limit matters for HTML users. Dochost hosts one file, so a relative path to a second file that was never uploaded will not resolve. Images work when referenced by an absolute URL or a data URI.
The core features are HTML hosting, Markdown hosting and the live Markdown preview. Every page shows view counts and likes, and views are counted on the server rather than with trackers. Uploads are screened automatically, and malicious content is removed to keep the Explore section trustworthy.
Several publishing routes sit alongside the website. A hosted MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI publish and later edit a page while keeping the same link. A Chrome extension adds a Publish button inside ChatGPT and Claude, and a Telegram bot returns a link when sent a message or file.
A public API accepts HTML or Markdown without a key, which suits AI agents that publish automatically. Paid plans add a custom slug, password protection and removal of Dochost branding.
Dochost is a free HTML and Markdown host that turns a pasted or uploaded file into a shareable dochost.co link. It was built for pages produced by AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude. Markdown is rendered with GitHub-flavored styling and HTML is served as written.
Free costs $0. Pro is $4.92 per month billed yearly at $59, or $7 per month billed monthly. Max is $11.25 per month billed yearly at $135.
Yes, the Free plan needs no account and allows 10 live pages of up to 1 MB. The monthly Pro plan also starts with a 7-day free trial that requires a card, and cancelling before it ends avoids any charge.
Free public pages last 7 days and private link-only pages last 3 days. Paid plans make links permanent. Trial pages follow separate expiry rules, so the expiry shown for each page applies.
It offers a hosted MCP server that works with ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex and Windsurf. It also has a Chrome extension for ChatGPT and Claude, a Telegram bot and a public API that needs no key.
Yes, if they are part of the single file. Inline style and script blocks work, as do images with absolute URLs or data URIs. A relative path to a second file that was not uploaded will not work.
It suits people who have one page, usually written by an AI assistant, and need someone else to open it, such as a client report, a manager's dashboard or a student quiz. It is not meant for multi-page projects with a build step.
