// getting started

From signup to live site.

About five minutes, start to finish.

Register

Pick a username (3–32 chars, lowercase, hyphens ok). That becomes username.myjay.net.

Upload

Drag an index.html (and any CSS/images) into the Files tab of your dashboard.

Publish

Flip the publish toggle from DRAFT to LIVE. Your site is instantly on the internet.

// the basics

You need an `index.html`.

When someone visits username.myjay.net (or any subfolder), MyJay looks for index.html in that location. If your site is one page, one file at the root is enough:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head><title>My site</title></head> <body><h1>Hello, web.</h1></body> </html>

Folders work too: username.myjay.net/blog/ serves blog/index.html from your uploads if it exists.

// files

Uploading & editing.

Drag files (or folders) onto the Files tab in your dashboard, or click "Upload files".
Click any text file in the tree to edit it live in the built-in code editor. Save with the Save button.
Images and fonts can't be edited in-browser. Delete and re-upload to replace them.
Deleting a file is permanent. No trash, no undo.

Allowed file types.

// publishing

Going live.

New sites start as DRAFT. only you can see them while signed in. Flip the publish toggle to go LIVE. The change is instant. Flip it back at any time to take the site offline without deleting anything.

// troubleshooting

Common issues.

I get "this site doesn't exist yet."

Your site is unpublished (DRAFT) or nothing has been uploaded yet. Check the publish toggle in your dashboard.

I get a 404 on a page that should exist.

Filenames are case-sensitive. /About.html and /about.html are different files. Folder URLs (/blog/) need an index.html inside the folder.

My CSS or JS isn't loading.

Use relative paths (style.css or /style.css) rather than hardcoding myjay.net. Your site lives on username.myjay.net, a different origin.

Can I run a database, PHP, or a Node server?

No. Static files only. HTML, CSS, JS, images, fonts. See what this isn't.

The whole site shows a maintenance page.

The admin switched on maintenance mode platform-wide. Temporary and unrelated to your site. Check status.
