Startup docs
Startups need docs that stay current while product work keeps moving. Hosted documentation for startups should help teams publish quickly without adding deployment and maintenance overhead.
Hosted.md is built for docs for founders and small teams with one flat price per site, no deployment, no maintenance, and optional Git integration.
Founder checklist
What startup documentation needs early.
Startup documentation is not only about writing pages. The hosting model affects how often docs are updated and how much team time goes into operations.
If docs are hard to publish, teams delay updates and users lose confidence. If docs are easy to publish, support and onboarding become more consistent.
The best setup is usually the one your team can maintain while shipping product. Keep requirements focused.
For practical structure and page writing patterns, use the guides.
This split makes the tradeoff concrete for founders deciding between self managed and hosted docs.
