How to Host a Static Website on LinkPal (100% Free)

Creating a static website doesn’t need to be complicated. If you have a simple HTML project, a digital portfolio, or a custom landing page, LinkPal allows you to host it directly—without needing any external web hosting setup. Whether it’s a resume, personal site, or promotional page, LinkPal makes it easy to go live in minutes.

Here’s a complete guide to help you get your static site up and running.

🌐 What Is a Static Website?

A static website is built using fixed content—usually HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. Unlike dynamic websites that pull data from a server, static sites load quickly and are ideal for:

• Portfolios
• Resume/CV pages
• Event or product landing pages
• Link hubs with advanced customization
• Digital flyers or one-page business sites

📁 Step 1: Prepare Your Website Files

Gather your project files into a folder. Typically, this includes:

• index.html (your main page)
• Folders like /css, /js, /images, or /assets for styling, scripts, and media

Ensure all internal links (like stylesheets or images) are correctly referenced. For example:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
<script src="js/script.js"></script>
<img src="images/photo.jpg">

🧑‍💻 Step 2: Log In to Your LinkPal Dashboard

Visit linkpal.phisk.co and sign in to your account. Once you’re in your dashboard, you’re ready to start creating pages.

📝 Step 3: Create a New Custom Page

1. Go to the Pages section.
2. Click Create New Page.
3. Give your page a title and choose a short URL slug (e.g., my-portfolio).
4. For Page Type, select Custom HTML.
5. Open your index.html in any code editor, copy the contents, and paste it into the editor provided by LinkPal.
6. Save your page.

Your basic static website is now live.

🖼 Step 4: Host External Assets

Since LinkPal doesn’t currently support direct folder uploads (like /css or /js), you’ll need to upload these files elsewhere and link them into your HTML.

Hosting Options for CSS/JS/Images:

• GitHub Pages
• Cloudflare R2 or Backblaze B2
• Firebase Hosting
• Google Drive (publicly shared links)
• Image hosts like Imgur or Postimages

Update your file links accordingly:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://yourcdn.com/style.css">
<script src="https://yourcdn.com/script.js"></script>
<img src="https://yourcdn.com/images/photo.jpg">

🌍 Step 5: View and Share Your Website

Once saved, your page is published and accessible via:

https://linkpal.phisk.co/your-url-slug

Visit the link to confirm everything works. If you’ve hosted external assets correctly, your static site should appear exactly as it does locally.

You can now share your link anywhere—on social media, email, or in your bio.

🔧 Additional Features to Explore

LinkPal also allows you to enhance your static site with built-in tools like:

• Meta tags for SEO and previews
• Header/Footer code injection for scripts like Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel
• Password protection for private pages
• Click tracking and analytics
• Custom domain mapping

All these features can be managed from the page settings.

🌐 Use Your Own Domain

Want your site to appear under your own domain?

1. Navigate to the Domains section.
2. Add your domain or subdomain (e.g., site.yourdomain.com).
3. Follow the DNS setup instructions (usually setting a CNAME or A record).
4. Assign the domain to your static page.

Your website will now be accessible from your personal domain, giving it a more professional touch.
