Web Hosting Platform for HTML Websites

Abstract

Web hosting platforms allow users to deploy websites easily. However many beginners face difficulties while hosting their projects. This paper presents Flip-Frame, a lightweight HTML web hosting platform that allows users to upload and host static websites quickly. The system focuses on simplicity, accessibility, and fast deployment. The proposed solution reduces technical barriers and allows beginners to host projects without complex server configuration.

Introduction

To address this gap, the paper introduces Flip-Frame, a lightweight and user-friendly hosting platform designed for quickly sharing small web projects built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The platform allows users to simply paste or upload their code and instantly generate a unique URL to view and share their website.

Flip-Frame uses a client–server architecture:

• The frontend (built with React.js) provides a dashboard for users to create and manage projects.
• The backend (using Supabase) handles authentication, data storage, and project management.
• A database stores user details and project data, linking each project to its creator.
• A rendering system dynamically displays the stored code when the generated link is accessed.

The methodology focuses on simplicity, including requirement analysis, frontend and backend development, database integration, and testing to ensure smooth performance and usability.

Results show that Flip-Frame successfully enables instant hosting, secure storage, and easy project management, making it especially useful for beginners, students, and developers who want to quickly test, showcase, or share web projects without dealing with complex deployment processes.

Overall, Flip-Frame provides a simple, efficient, and accessible solution for web hosting, reducing technical barriers and improving the user experience.

Conclusion

Flip-Frame successfully demonstrates a simple and efficient platform for hosting and sharing small web projects online. The system allows users to easily create, preview, and publish HTML, CSS, and JavaScript websites through a clean and user-friendly interface. By generating a unique URL for each hosted project, the platform makes it possible for users to quickly share their work with others without dealing with complicated hosting processes. The implementation of authentication, project management, and live preview features ensures that users can manage their websites effectively. The integration of services such as Supabase helps maintain secure user authentication and reliable database storage for hosted projects. These components work together to provide a smooth and responsive hosting experience. Overall, Flip-Frame reduces the complexity of traditional web hosting and provides an accessible solution for beginners, students, and developers who want to quickly test or showcase their web projects. The platform demonstrates how modern web technologies can be combined to build a practical and lightweight hosting solution for instant web publishing.
