Hosted documentation
User guide hosting means your product user guides are published on a stable hosted docs site without taking on deployment and maintenance work.
Hosted.md is built for public documentation with one flat price per site and optional Git integration.
Hosted user guides checklist
Product user guides reduce repeat support questions and help onboarding move faster. Good hosted user guides give users a place to solve common tasks without opening a ticket.
If you are planning structure and page flow, start with the guides hub for practical writing patterns.
A practical setup should keep publishing reliable while keeping the operational footprint small for your team.
Core needs for product user guides
Where Hosted.md fits
Keep the content model simple and operationally realistic. This is usually enough for documentation for small teams.
Getting started path
A first success path that new users can follow without guessing where to begin.
Task guides
Short how-to pages for real workflows instead of long narrative documentation.
Troubleshooting answers
Common fixes in one place so support can link users directly to an answer.
Searchable public docs
Users can find answers by terms they already use in product and support conversations.
Clear ownership
A repeatable update process so docs stay current as product behavior changes.
Light operational model
Docs publishing that does not require managing another stack or release process.
