Hosted documentation

Documentation without maintenance

This page is for teams that want documentation without maintenance tasks like hosting upkeep, deployment pipeline fixes, and ongoing platform updates.

Hosted.md is a hosted docs service for product docs for founders, with one flat price per site and optional Git integration.

Maintenance free focus

  • No infrastructure maintenance ownership on your side
  • Public documentation with predictable per-site pricing
  • Hosted docs maintenance free model for small teams

Why docs platform maintenance matters

Docs platform maintenance is often underestimated. Even small documentation stacks create recurring work: infrastructure checks, deployment debugging, and updates that pull focus from writing useful docs.

A maintenance free approach helps documentation for small teams stay active because the workflow stays focused on content.

What to look for in documentation without maintenance

The goal is simple: publishing should stay reliable without creating a second product operations surface.

What teams should expect

  • No regular platform upkeep tasks
  • No deployment flow ownership for docs
  • Stable hosted delivery for public documentation
  • Clear operational boundary between writing and infrastructure
  • Predictable pricing model as team responsibilities shift

Where maintenance work usually appears

This quick breakdown helps teams see the difference between a hosted approach and a self-managed docs stack.

Hosting upkeep

Self-managed docs require regular environment and availability checks.

Deployment troubleshooting

Build and release steps for docs can fail and require ongoing maintenance attention.

Platform updates

Dependencies and tooling updates become recurring work in DIY documentation stacks.

Content velocity impact

When ops work grows, teams often publish fewer useful docs updates.

Support impact

Outdated docs increase repeated support requests and onboarding friction.

Operational clarity

Hosted docs keep responsibility boundaries clear for small product teams.

Who Hosted.md is for, and who it is not for

  • Teams that want maintenance free hosted docs operations
  • Workflows that prioritize simple publishing over platform complexity

Not the focus

  • Private docs and enterprise permission systems
  • Complex collaboration workflows and voting widgets
  • AI writing and enterprise process layers as core requirements
