Well, technically you don’t need a domain. An IP is enough. If you don’t have your own IP (like a shared host) you’ll need to put it in a subdirectory but there is no need to have a domain to put something on the Internet.
Yes. My mistake. What I meant to say is that I didn’t realize you needed something to host the site on. I tried to send my friend the file and expected them to open it…from my computer.
I had a similar problem in the late 90s except I was in my late 20s and a friend of mine got me into web developing. It took me a couple of weeks to realize I didn’t need to spend 30 minutes uploading my work via ftp over a 56K line to see the website. I could have just opened it up with a browser on my own computer. I wasted a lot of time.

I was a bit of a noob back in the day.
Nowadays you can just use notepad and share the link to your Microsoft OneDrive folder…
Better yet, use the latest remote code execution exploit in notepad to install and host a local web server!
