How to host a Claude artifact as a live, shareable link

Claude's artifacts feature turns a prompt into something real: a dashboard, a calculator, a landing page, a small game, all rendered live in the conversation. The problem starts when you want someone else to see it.

The artifact lives inside Claude, behind your account. There is no public URL to send. Screenshotting it loses the interactivity. Inviting someone into your Claude account is not practical. An artifact is almost always self-contained HTML, which is why it hosts so cleanly as a static site. You just need somewhere to put it.

Artifacts evolve. You ask Claude for a second version, it rebuilds the thing, and you want the same link to show the new output. Swap the source in your dashboard and the URL does not change. Everyone who already has the link sees the update on their next visit.

This is the part screenshots and one-off uploads get wrong. Every change means a new file and a new link to redistribute. With NudgeHost, one link serves every version. Unlike hosts that expire free links after 30 days, NudgeHost keeps your artifact live as long as you want.

Most artifacts are a single HTML file. Occasionally Claude splits things across several files, or you have built something larger around it. In that case, zip the files together and upload the archive. NudgeHost unpacks it and serves the whole project as a real site at the site's own subdomain, with index.html as the entry point. Stylesheets, scripts, and images load from the root exactly as you wrote them, and if the project uses a client-side router, direct visits to its routes work too.

If Claude loaded a library like React or Tailwind from a content delivery network, those requests fire as normal from the hosted page. The artifact behaves online exactly as it did in the conversation. The same approach that lets you publish any HTML page handles multi-file projects.

The short version: GitHub Gist shows raw code with no rendering. CodePen renders HTML but wraps it in a cluttered editor UI and requires an account. NudgeHost gives the recipient a clean, full-screen page with no login wall, no branding chrome, and a branded preview when the link is shared in chat.

The free plan handles artifacts easily. The 25MB limit sits far above the size of anything Claude produces, which is almost always under a few hundred kilobytes. You get 10 active links with no expiry and no visitor cap.

The NudgeHost Pro plan adds password protection and the option to brand your link with a custom domain, both of which matter once the link is going to a client rather than a teammate. If you built a prototype or a pitch tool with Claude, sharing it from yourname.com/pitch lands differently than a generic subdomain.
