Which plans have it, what hosting costs from January 2027, what you can build, its limits and its address." url: "https://site.link/help/what-is-chatgpt-sites" --- # What is ChatGPT Sites? ChatGPT Sites is the website builder inside ChatGPT. You describe a site, ChatGPT builds and hosts it, and you share the link. Here's who gets it, what it costs and where it stops. ## What ChatGPT Sites is ChatGPT Sites is OpenAI's tool for making websites, web apps and games by describing them in ChatGPT or Codex. ChatGPT writes the code, hosts the result and gives it a web address, so there's nothing to code, upload or deploy yourself. It's in public beta. A Site can be a single page, like a landing page or a portfolio, or a small app that saves what people type into it, like a request form or a tracker. ## How it works 1. **Describe it.** Ask ChatGPT for a website, or type **@Sites**, and say what it's for. You can attach files, images or a spreadsheet. 2. **Try the preview.** The Site opens beside the chat while it's being built, marked **Only visible to you**. 3. **Ask for changes.** Type them in the chat or click **Request edits**. 4. **Publish it.** Click **Share**, set **Link access** to **Public**, then click **Publish**. 5. **Come back anytime.** The Site stays in your Sites list after the chat ends, so you can keep changing it and publish updates. When we tried it, one message built a working bakery site in 4 minutes. Here's the prompt we used and every step: [how to build a website with ChatGPT](/help/build-a-website-with-chatgpt). ## Which plans have it Sites is in beta on the Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu plans. The Free and Go plans don't have it. OpenAI says availability, usage limits and workspace controls also vary by plan and region. * **Pro** includes a bigger hosting allowance than Plus. * **Enterprise** workspaces can't connect custom domains yet. * **Free and Go** users can still ask ChatGPT to write a page as an HTML file, then [host the HTML file](/help/host-html-file) somewhere else. ## Is ChatGPT Sites free? For now, yes, if your plan has it. Sites costs nothing on top of the plan, and hosting is free through December 31, 2026\. From January 1, 2027, OpenAI meters hosting in credits. Each plan includes a monthly allowance, and you pay only for usage above it. Building and editing a Site already count toward your plan's Codex usage. These are [OpenAI's proposed rates](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/sites), in approximate credits: | What you use | Billed | Credits | | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | ------- | | A Site without storage | Per Site, per month | 0 | | A Site with storage, even an empty database | Per Site, per month | 25 | | Traffic | Per 100,000 requests | 16 | | Database storage, like form responses | Per GiB, per month | 150 | | File storage, like images or PDFs | Per GiB, per month | 3.75 | | A custom domain | Per domain, per month | 25 | One visit usually makes 30 to 50 requests, for the page and its images and files. Here's what that adds up to before your plan's allowance: | A one-page site with no database and 1,000 visits a month | About 5 to 8 credits | | --------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | | The same site saving form responses in a database | About 30 to 35 credits | | Either one at a custom domain | 25 credits more | A simple Site costs little, while a database costs 25 credits a month even when it's empty. A custom domain costs 25 credits a month too, whether it's a domain you bought or a Sitelink address. From December 1, 2026, you can see each Site's traffic and storage. ## What you can build * **Pages:** landing pages, portfolios and event sites. * **Small apps:** dashboards, trackers, request forms, calculators, client portals and games. * **Saved data:** form responses, uploaded files and each visitor's progress. * **Sign in with ChatGPT,** so visitors can come back to their own work. * **Payments** through an outside payment provider, which must handle the card details. * **Scheduled updates** that ChatGPT runs on a schedule you approve. In Business and Enterprise workspaces, a Site can also read from tools a visitor has connected to ChatGPT, with that visitor's permission. ## Limits * **10 GB of database storage** per Site. File storage has no fixed limit. * **Web connections only:** HTTP, HTTPS and WebSockets, with no raw TCP connections. * **Some frameworks aren't supported,** along with some databases, private networks and background services. * **Every change goes through the chat.** You can't drag things around by hand. * **Banned uses** include health records, sites aimed at children under 13, phishing, malware and impersonating people or companies. You can make as many Sites as you like. Deleting one is permanent, so to take a Site offline for a while, limit who can open it instead. ## Its address and custom domains Every Site gets an address ending in chatgpt.site, like `mycafe.maple312.chatgpt.site`. ChatGPT picks the middle word and number. Ours came out 46 characters long, too long to print on a sign. You can change it three ways: * **Rename it** in the Site's settings with **Change**, next to **URL**. The old address redirects to the new one. * **Connect a domain you own** with **Add domain**, then add the DNS records it shows where you bought the domain. Sites doesn't sell domains. [Every record, explained](/help/chatgpt-sites-custom-domain-dns). * **Use a Sitelink address** like mycafe.site.link. ChatGPT sets it up from the chat, with no domain to buy and no DNS to touch. It's free for 30 days, then $9 a year for most names. See [custom domain for ChatGPT Sites](/chatgpt). ## Who can see your Site A new Site is visible only to you, and to your workspace admins on a work plan. When you share it, you choose who can open it: people you invite, your workspace, or the public. Inviting people outside your workspace is still rolling out on some plans. To list a public Site on your ChatGPT profile, turn on **Allow this to be discovered and show it on your profile** in the Share dialog. Teammates you invite as editors can change the Site and publish updates after you've published it once, and they can see the data it saves. Once it's public, [get your website on Google](/help/get-website-on-google) so people can find it by searching. ## Related guides * [Build a website with ChatGPT](/help/build-a-website-with-chatgpt) * [Connect your ChatGPT Site](/help/connect-chatgpt-site) * [Set up DNS for your own domain](/help/chatgpt-sites-custom-domain-dns) Still stuck?
