**Note**: if you run the app on hostnames other than `localhost`, you must use HTTPS to make sure all app features work.

## **Option 2: Deploy TypingMind on a static web cloud service**

You can upload to any static web hosting such as Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, AWS S3, etc. to host the files.

Here’s the detailed guidelines of deploying the app on Netlify:

1. **Fork the GitHub repo**

## **Important note**

1. You must deploy the app at the root level of your domain or subdomain. Deploying under a subfolder will not work. For example: **[https://yourdomain.com/](https://yourdomain.com/)** will work, **[https://chat.yourdomain.com/](https://chat.yourdomain.com/)** will work, but **[https://yourdomain.com/typingmind/](https://yourdomain.com/typingmind/)** will not work.
2. You are unable to change the branding name and customize the UI.
3. The static self-host version updates are delayed from 1 or 2 versions compared to the latest versions on [www.typingmind.com](https://www.typingmind.com/)
