If you have a nice, clean website with good static HTML and you want to put it online somewhere just to let your friends test it, there’s EchoDuck!
It’s an excellent, user-friendly tool for casual tinkerers who want to throw together web pages and upload them online without needing to pull out their credit card or wrestle with Nginx or Apache.
How does it work?
You go to the EchoDuck website: https://echoduck.com.
You click on “Launch my Server,” choose the files to host, and the site will give you your own unique public URL.
Of course, nothing is actually uploaded online—your files stay entirely on YOUR device, and there’s no need to install anything since it runs directly from your browser.
There are some technical limitations to keep in mind though, as EchoDuck is only for lightweight static sites, not for hosting the next Netflix. So avoid uploading your 4K video library or your collection of cat GIFs because it might slow things down. 😬
But it gets the job done!
