exozyme offers free static and dynamic website hosting with **exopages**, similar to [GitHub pages](https://pages.github.com/).
## Static hosting
Greetings, Exozyme user! So you want to create a nice, clean website, but are poor and pathetic?
Lucky for you, Exozyme has got all you need!
It only takes two minutes to set up your static website. Open up the file explorer in your remote desktop or log in with [SSH](SSH), and navigate to the `/srv/http/pages` folder. Create a new folder to hold the content for your website. Make an actual page by creating a file called index.html and write some text. If you open up https://FOLDER.exozy.me in a web browser with `FOLDER` replaced with your the name of the folder containing your website, you should see it live in action!
### 1. Settling on a name
Ideally, you want a name that will stand out. I usually go with my username, like 2kwatts.exozy.me, but if you're making it
for a project, you can use that instead. (You have unlimited choices!)
### 2. The back-end basics
SSH into Exozyme, then travel over to /srv/http/pages. After that, make a directory. Title it the name you decided in the previous
section, as long as it's not taken. Once that's done, enter it and run `touch index.html`. This will create the main page for your
website. So when people travel there, they will see this file by default.
### 3. Writing the website stuff
Using your favorite text editor, open up the file. Assuming you have some basic HTML knowledge, you should know what to do here.
Once you're done writing mindless code for now, save & quit the file. Now open your site in a web browser. It will be something like
yourfoldername.exozy.me.
Now, thanks to Exozyme and 2kwatts, you have your own Internet place where you can do whatever you want! Just don't do anything illegal. See the [tutorial from Tor Project](https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/setup/) for making an onion service.
