A free host for AI-generated HTML and Markdown that solves a specific, modern annoyance: a chatbot writes something genuinely useful, and then it’s stuck inside a chat window. The pages it publishes also expire on purpose, by default.
Table of Contents
An AI assistant writing a pricing page, a project brief, or a quiz produces something immediately useful and immediately stuck. Sending the raw HTML or Markdown to a colleague means asking them to save a file, open an editor, or read past the asterisks. Dochost’s entire premise is closing that gap: paste or publish, get a link, send it, with the page opening styled, on any device, for the person receiving it.
Shared content lives somewhere your account can’t be reached
The more technical decision sitting underneath the simple paste-and-share flow is a real security choice, not a cosmetic one. Published pages are served on a separate, locked-down content domain, dochost.co, specifically so that scripts inside someone’s uploaded page can never touch the visitor’s session on the main product. That distinction matters because a tool built around hosting arbitrary HTML, code that could in principle include its own scripts, has to assume some of what gets pasted in will be careless or worse, and architecting the hosting domain to contain that risk is a meaningfully different decision than hoping nobody tries.
Links that are built to expire
Rather than treating a time limit as a free-tier restriction to work around, Dochost frames it as the actual point: free public pages last 7 days, private ones 3, because a casual share, a review draft, a quick demo, isn’t supposed to linger online forever once its job is done. A Pro plan at $7 a month or $59 a year removes the expiry along with the small dochost branding link, for anyone who wants a page to persist. The free tier’s temporariness reads less like a sales funnel dressed up as a feature and more like a genuine answer to a real question: what happens to a disposable link nobody remembers to delete.
Publishing without leaving the chat
Dochost’s Chrome extension adds a Publish button directly inside ChatGPT and Claude, detecting HTML or Markdown in a conversation and turning it into a live link without the user ever copying or pasting anything by hand. A parallel MCP server lets an AI assistant publish on its own when asked to share a document, returning a working dochost link as a tool result rather than requiring a separate dashboard visit. Both routes point at the same underlying bet: that the actual friction in this workflow isn’t the hosting, it’s the number of steps between an AI finishing a draft and a human being able to open it in a browser.
A small company’s stated reason for staying small
The operator, Xhorizon Labs LLC, frames its own scope deliberately: “staying small keeps the product honest; features ship because people publishing real pages ask for them.” Views are counted server-side rather than through third-party trackers, and the product’s stated job is narrow on purpose, one HTML or Markdown document per link, not a multi-page site builder with a CSS folder and routing. That narrowness is the same trade-off running through every decision the product makes. It isn’t trying to be a web host so much as the shortest possible distance between an AI’s output and someone else’s browser.
