I see ((free)) hosting available for WordPress sites and shit but is there anything free where I can just host an XML file for free? File would be updated often but was hoping to find a solution to it. Idc about or anything. Just a way to host XML and update it often without the link changing like on GitHub gists.
just upload it to a github repo, also you know you can update gists without creating a new one

The gist URL will change on each update. I need a static url. I'd rather not have the XML public on GitHub, was hoping it could be hosted freely somewhere else.

AWS S3 free tier. I think you get almost 750GB of outbound bandwidth on the free tier plan.
If you don't want the fear of an AWS charge on your credit card for use outside the free tier, you could always go with one of those $5 or $10/year simple web hosting providers. You'd get FTP access and you wouldn't have to manage a VPS. Just go with a reputable provider, especially if you need good uptime.

Had free tier for a year my free period if over.
Ultimately I was going to have a community project, multiple people working on a semi-private XML file. I'm fine with paying for $5 a year hosting but was hoping for something free to see if it would be a viable proof of concept. If only I could get XML on neocities or a site like it.

what exactly prevents you from changing your file's extension from xml to html and uploading it to the webhost?
Leo Collins
I have to test it. The XML is going to be downloaded read by client machines that are expecting xml.
Mason Sullivan
I got an XML to upload.. idk why but .php.xml worked...
Is there a way to upload files automatically like with cmdline or API?
I webscrape if needed..

Neocities API keeps giving an error for invalid creds. Sigh.
