So now that we know what we have,
a static site, and that Netlify is one possible option
for hosting our website or a Netlify Drop
in this case specifically.
Let's actually use Netlify Drop.
And using it is really simple.
You just need to drag and drop your website code
into this box here.
Now for this I'm on app.netlify.com/drop.
You find a link to the site also attached to this lecture.
And it's important that you open this in a regular browser
tab not in an incognito tab, it won't work there.
So open it in a regular tab.
That's specific for this service here.
And then here, I got my project folder with the HTML files
and the CSS files and the image file.
And now I'll take this entire project folder.
So not the single files,
but the entire folder and the drag and drop this
into this box here.
And if I let go, it's still here on my local machine.
It wasn't removed there,
but it was uploaded to Netlify server
and the site is already live.
And I even get an auto-generated domain here,
which of course is not very customized, it's not my choice.
It was generated automatically by Netlify,
but it is something we can use to reach our website.
So if you now click here, we can see our website here,
live in the worldwide web.
And this URL here, this address is now really not
on our local machine, but instead out there in the web.
If you have this URL, you can reach our website.
You can even remove slash index HTML and just enter
the domain and it will still load it,
because as mentioned early in the course,
most web servers and this Netlify server is no exception,
will look for an index HTML file by default,
if no more specific file name is specified.
So therefore that's very convenient.
And now if you followed along and you want to update this
every day, you could share it on social media
with other students from this course maybe.
And therefore make your progress and your first website,
available to the entire world.
