The code

This is the
whole website.

Seriously. A minimal, valid, deployable one-page website is just this. No dependencies. No npm install. Just save as index.html and drag the folder to Netlify.

Add a <style> block for design, a <script> block for interaction. Ship it.

index.html

<!-- This is your entire site -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <title>My Site</title>
  <style>
    body { font-family: sans-serif; }
    h1 { color: #FF4D00; }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
  <p>My site is live.</p>
</body>
</html>

Custom domain

Make it yours
with a real URL.

Netlify makes custom domains dead simple. Point your domain's DNS to Netlify, add it in your site settings, and SSL is provisioned automatically — for free.

✓

Free SSL certificate — auto-renewed via Let's Encrypt. HTTPS out of the box, no config.
✓

Works with any registrar — GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Google Domains, wherever.
✓

www + apex redirect — Netlify handles both yoursite.com and www.yoursite.com automatically.
✓

DNS propagation is fast — usually live within a few minutes, max 48 hours globally.

DNS Settings 2 records

Add to your registrar's DNS panel

A @ 75.2.60.5

CNAME www yoursite.netlify.app

Or use Netlify DNS

For the easiest setup, transfer your domain's nameservers to Netlify. They'll manage everything — DNS, SSL, subdomains — from one dashboard. Just update nameservers at your registrar to point to Netlify's NS records.
