Host Static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Pages on Custom Domains

Host Static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Pages on Custom Domains

With Trakio, you can host static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript pages directly on your connected custom domains. This allows you to transform your custom domain into a fully functional static website while still benefiting from Trakio’s link management and analytics features.

This feature is ideal for:

  • Landing pages
  • Product showcases
  • Campaign pages
  • Portfolio websites
  • Documentation pages
  • Temporary event sites
  • Lightweight static web applications

Pro Plan Feature

Static page hosting is available exclusively in the Trakio Pro Plan.

Current Limits

  • Maximum of 10 hosted files/pages per domain
  • Additional page limits can be requested through Trakio Support

Why Use Static Hosting on Custom Domains?

This feature gives your custom domain two powerful capabilities:

Use your domain for branded and trackable short links.

2. Static Website Hosting

Host your own HTML, CSS, and JavaScript website directly on the same domain.

This means your domain can function both as:

  • A branded short-link domain
  • A static hosting platform

Step 1: Log in to Your Account

Open the login page and sign in to your dashboard:

Trakio Login

If you do not already have an account, Sign Up Here


Step 2: Open the Custom Domains Section

After logging in:

  • Open the sidebar menu
  • Click on “Custom Domains”

Before continuing, make sure your custom domain is already connected and configured properly.

Step 4: Create a New Page

Click the New Page button.

New Page Button

You will be asked to enter a filename.

For your main homepage, enter:

index.html
File Creation Dialog

After creation, the file will appear in your pages list.


Important: Understanding index.html

The index.html file acts as the main entry point of your website.

Once this file is created:

  • The default Trakio landing page on your custom domain is automatically removed
  • Your uploaded index.html page becomes the new homepage of the domain

Example:

https://yourdomain.com

will automatically load:

index.html

Step 5: Edit Your Page

To write your own HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code:

  • Hover your mouse over the filename
  • Click the pencil (edit) icon
Pencil Edit Icon

Note:
The edit icon only appears when hovering over the file row.


Step 6: Write Your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

After clicking the edit button, a code editor dialog will open.

Code Editor Interface

You can now:

  • Write HTML pages
  • Add CSS styling
  • Include JavaScript functionality
  • Build complete static websites directly inside the editor

Creating Multiple Pages

You can create additional pages such as:

  • about.html
  • contact.html
  • pricing.html
  • docs.html

Each file can link to other files using relative paths.

Example:

<a href="/about.html">About Us</a>

Step 7: Access Your Website

After creating and editing your pages, your website becomes instantly available on your connected custom domain.

To access your website:

  • Open your custom domain in a browser

Example:

https://yourdomain.com

You will now see the webpage you created using your index.html file.

If you created additional pages such as:

  • about.html
  • contact.html
  • pricing.html

You can access them directly through their paths:

https://yourdomain.com/about.html
https://yourdomain.com/contact.html

Any changes you make inside the editor are automatically reflected on your custom domain after saving.

File Limits
