About Neocities
Neocities is a free host for personal websites. It keeps the look and feel of the early web, with tools that let anyone publish a page without much setup.
What it does
Neocities provides static web hosting, so each site is made of HTML, CSS and other plain files. You can write pages in an editor inside the browser, or upload files by drag and drop. A command line tool is also available for people who prefer to work on their own machine.
Key features
- Write pages in an editor in your browser
- Upload files by drag and drop
- Command line tool for uploads
- Custom domain support
- Follow other sites and see their updates
Who it's for
Neocities suits people who want a personal site as a creative project, such as a home page, a zine, an art portfolio or a set of hand-coded pages. It is a good way for beginners to see HTML and CSS working on a live site. Sites can be tagged by topic, so visitors can browse related pages.
Pricing and good to know
The core service is free and the site says it has zero ads. Supporter accounts and donations fund the project. The site states it will not sell data for AI training. Because hosting is for static files, server-side code is not part of the offer.
