Common mistakes when hosting your first page

Assuming custom domains are free on every platform. Static.app and Tiiny Host both require a paid plan for custom domains. Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, and GitHub Pages include custom domains on free plans. Always check before you buy a domain name.
Assuming forms and analytics come with free hosting. On most platforms, built-in form collection and analytics are paid features or paid add-ons. If you need to collect emails on your sales page, confirm whether your host supports it or plan to use a third-party form tool.
Uploading a single HTML file to Netlify without putting it in a folder. Netlify expects a folder, not a loose file. Create a folder, put your HTML file inside it (named index.html), and drag the folder into the deploy zone.
Forgetting to rename your file to index.html. Most hosting platforms look for a file named index.html as the default page. If your file is named Sales_Page.html or my-product.html, the host may not know which page to serve.
Not claiming your Netlify site within 24 hours. If you deploy without an account on Netlify Drop, your site gets deleted after 24 hours. Create a free account and claim the site to keep it permanently.
Expecting to run server-side code on static hosting. Static hosts serve HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to the browser. They do not run PHP, Python, databases, or server logic. Your Claude artifact is static by nature, so this is not usually a problem, but good to know if you add features later.
Skipping SSL and sharing an http:// link. Every platform listed here provides free SSL. Always share the https:// version of your URL. Browsers warn visitors when a page is not secure, which kills trust on a sales page.
Not testing on mobile before sharing. After deploying, open your live URL on your phone. Your Claude-built sales page is responsive, but it is worth a quick scroll to make sure everything looks right on a small screen before you send traffic to it.
