You have two options depending on how quickly you want to go live:

Option 1 — Live in 60 seconds (free)

Go to netlify.com/drop and drag the HTML file onto the page. Netlify gives you an instant public link like sgva-abc123.netlify.app. You can then connect your sgva.co.za domain in their dashboard under Domain Settings → Add custom domain.

Option 2 — GitHub Pages (also free, slightly more setup)

Create a free GitHub account, make a new repository called sgva, upload the HTML file as index.html, then go to Settings → Pages → set source to main branch. It publishes at yourusername.github.io/sgva, and you can point sgva.co.za there too.


Connecting sgva.co.za to either

Wherever your domain is registered (domains.co.za, GoDaddy, etc.), you'll update the DNS records. Both Netlify and GitHub Pages give you the exact records to paste in — it takes about 10 minutes to configure and up to 24 hours to fully propagate.


My recommendation: Netlify Drop

It's the fastest path — drag, drop, done. Once the site is live there, paste the Netlify URL here and I'll also help you set up the Apps Script URL so the registration forms start firing to your inbox the moment the site is public.

Do you know which registrar holds your sgva.co.za domain?

You said: registerdomain.co.za

registerdomain.co.za

Claude responded: Perfect.

Perfect. Here's exactly what to do — end to end:

Step 1 — Get the site file
Download the HTML file from the artifact (the SGVA site card above). Save it to your desktop as index.html.

Step 2 — Publish on Netlify

  1. Go to netlify.com/drop
  2. Drag index.html onto the page
  3. It goes live instantly at a temporary URL like random-name-123.netlify.app
  4. Create a free Netlify account (so you own the site and can manage it)

Step 3 — Add your domain on Netlify
In your Netlify dashboard: Sites → your site → Domain settings → Add custom domain → type sgva.co.za → Verify

Netlify will show you two nameservers, something like:

dns1.p01.nsone.net
dns2.p01.nsone.net

Copy these — you need them for Step 4.

Step 4 — Point sgva.co.za to Netlify at registerdomain.co.za

  1. Log into registerdomain.co.za
  2. Go to My Domains → sgva.co.za → Manage → Nameservers
  3. Replace the existing nameservers with the two Netlify ones from Step 3
  4. Save

Step 5 — Wait
DNS propagation takes 2–24 hours. Once it's done, sgva.co.za loads your site, with a free SSL certificate (the padlock) applied automatically by Netlify.


Once you've done Steps 1–4, come back here with your Netlify Web App URL (or the Apps Script URL once you deploy it) and I'll wire the registration forms up so every buyer and consignor submission hits your inbox immediately.

Download the HTML file from the artifact (the SGVA site card above).

Where is this file?

Claude responded: The HTML file lives in the artifact — the card titled "Soweto Grand Vehicle Auction" that appeared in our conversation.

The HTML file lives in the artifact — the card titled "Soweto Grand Vehicle Auction" that appeared in our conversation. To download it:

  1. Click on that artifact card to open it
  2. Look for the download or "…" menu in the top-right corner of the artifact panel
  3. Download it — it saves as an .html file

Alternatively, I can send it to you directly as a file right now:

Sharedsgva_site.html
Shared sgva_site.html

There it is — download that file, rename it index.html, and drag it onto netlify.com/drop. Your site will be live within 60 seconds.
