Overview
dochost turns HTML or Markdown into a live hosted URL in seconds. Paste your content into the editor, or publish straight from the command line, and you get back a clean shareable link. There is no account to create and no build step to run.
Why it exists
Putting one document online usually means standing up a site: a repo, a build step, a deploy, a domain. That is a lot of machinery for a changelog, a report, or a one-off demo. dochost removes all of it. The live preview renders as you type, and the published page is a real static page with its own address, so it is indexable, printable, and safe to send to anyone.

Who it is for
Developers and writers who need to share a document, report, changelog, release notes, design handoff, or a one-off demo without building a site for it. Teams wire the command line path into scripts and CI steps so build reports and nightly summaries publish themselves. It is also a convenient output target for an agent that needs somewhere to put a rendered result.
What it is not
dochost is deliberately not a CMS and not a wiki. There are no folders to organise, no editor accounts to invite, and no theme to configure. It does one job: take a document you already have and give it a link. If you outgrow that, exporting is trivial, because what you published is the file you wrote.
Limits
Pages are static HTML and Markdown; server-side code does not run. Very large documents are capped, and free pages have a retention window that paid plans lift.
Pricing
Publishing is free. Paid plans add custom domains and longer retention.
