# Getting started with site.link

site.link is small on purpose. You claim a name, connect what you built, and share the address.

site.link is small on purpose. You claim a name, connect what you built, and share the address.

## Your first hour

1. Pick ChatGPT or Claude, whichever you already use to build.
2. Install the site.link MCP or connector.
3. Claim a free name for 30 days.
4. Connect a ChatGPT Site, publish a Claude artifact, or host a small HTML site.
5. Share the short link and see if people can open it without help.

## What you can skip

* Buying a custom domain for a first demo.
* Hand editing DNS.
* Standing up a separate host for a tiny static site.

Those steps matter later for big brands. For a chat-built site, a site.link name is enough to ship today.

## Where to go next

Read the ChatGPT and Claude hosting guides if you want the exact prompts. For pricing and name tiers, see the pricing page. For account and publish details, open Help.
