Publishing HTML files

 

Here are your practical options:

Quickest fix — Publish via a free static hosting service:

  • GitHub Pages — Upload the HTML file to a GitHub repository, enable Pages in settings, and you get a permanent public URL (e.g., yourusername.github.io/article-name)
  • Netlify Drop — Go to netlify.com/drop, drag and drop the HTML file, and you instantly get a public URL. No account required.
  • Tiiny.host — Similar drag-and-drop simplicity at tiiny.host, free tier gives a shareable link

If you have a website already:

  • Upload the HTML file via FTP or your CMS's file manager to your web root or a subfolder, then link to it directly

If you use Google Drive or Dropbox:

  • These no longer support direct HTML serving (they stopped years ago), so sharing links from those platforms will show the raw code, not render the page

My recommendation for you: Given that you publish IPCSG newsletter content regularly, Netlify Drop is probably the fastest path — it takes about 60 seconds, requires no account, and gives you a clean shareable URL immediately. You can also set a custom subdomain name for the page.

Would you like me to restructure the article in a different format — for example, plain HTML without embedded fonts that might be easier to paste into a CMS or email client — or help you think through a more permanent hosting setup for your newsletter articles?
