schedule 6 min read signal_cellular_alt Beginner

This guide explains nysr.host for users: how projects work, how your homepage is served, how to upload files, use PHP, connect domains, and fix common hosting issues.

info What is nysr.host?

nysr.host is a web hosting platform where you can create projects and publish websites online. Each project gets a free subdomain like:

your-project.nysr.host

You can upload HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, PHP files and other website assets.

folder How projects work

Every project is like a folder on the internet. If your project is named portfolio, your public website URL is:

https://portfolio.nysr.host

When someone visits that URL, nysr.host looks for your homepage file, usually index.html.

description How index.html works

index.html is the default homepage file for a website.

Homepageindex.html appears at /.
Normal pageabout.html appears at /about.html.
Folder pageblog/index.html appears at /blog/.

File names are case-sensitive. Index.html is not the same as index.html.

rocket_launch Create and publish a project

  1. Sign up or log in to nysr.host.
  2. Open your dashboard.
  3. Create a new project.
  4. Open the file manager.
  5. Upload your website files.
  6. Visit your project subdomain.

After the project is created, nysr.host creates a starter page. Replace it by uploading your own index.html.

upload Uploading files

The file manager lets you upload, create, edit, rename, move and delete files and folders. Common files include:

index.html
style.css
script.js
logo.png
about.html
contact.php
Screenshot placeholder: File managerAdd a screenshot showing the file manager with uploaded files.

The public URL matches the path in your project. For example, images/photo.jpg becomes:

https://your-project.nysr.host/images/photo.jpg

code Static websites

A static website uses files like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts and videos. Static sites are the easiest type of site to host: upload your files and open your project URL.

php PHP websites

nysr.host supports PHP. If you upload index.php, your project can run PHP when visitors open the site.

<?php
echo "Hello from PHP";
?>

Some dangerous PHP functions may be disabled by default for security. If your app needs special permissions, contact support.

storage Databases

Some PHP apps need MySQL. You can create a database from your project dashboard when available, then use the shown credentials in your app config.

Keep database credentials private. Do not publish them in public repositories or screenshots.

Screenshot placeholder: DatabaseAdd a screenshot showing the created database (hide credentials).

dns Custom domains

You can connect your own domain, such as example.com or www.example.com.

  1. Open your project dashboard.
  2. Go to domain settings.
  3. Enter your custom domain.
  4. Update DNS at your domain provider.
  5. Wait for DNS to propagate.
  6. HTTPS will be prepared for the domain.
Screenshot placeholder: Custom domainAdd a screenshot showing the Domain option and verification steps.

folder_zip ZIP uploads

You can upload a ZIP to move many files at once. Recommended structure:

index.html
css/style.css
js/app.js
images/logo.png

If your ZIP contains an extra top-level folder, your homepage may end up inside that folder. Move index.html to the project root if needed.

warning Common problems

Homepage not showing

Screenshot placeholder: 404 pageAdd a screenshot showing a 404 page caused by a missing index file.

CSS or images not loading

security Security and allowed use

Do not host phishing, fake login pages, credential theft, card/CVV/OTP collection, malware, scam redirects, or impersonation of brands/services.

Only host websites you own or have permission to publish.

terminal Quick example

Create index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>My Website</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello from nysr.host</h1>
  <p>This is my first hosted website.</p>
</body>
