Tiiny Host helps you share a file quickly. Fabric helps you keep it useful afterwards. Tiiny Host turns a PDF or HTML file into a link you can send to someone. Fabric stores, understands, and publishes your content with analytics, and it stays part of a connected library you can search, reference, and build on. One is fast and disposable. The other is persistent, connected, and reusable. Different tools for different intentions.

What is Tiiny Host?
Tiiny Host is a simple file hosting service. You drag and drop an HTML file, a ZIP, or a PDF, and it generates a shareable link. The free plan gives you one site with a 3MB limit and a 60-minute preview window, after which the link expires. Paid plans start at $9/month for one permanent project with 10,000 monthly visitors, analytics, and password protection. Higher tiers add more projects, custom domains, and larger file limits. It's used for quick demos, portfolios, resumes, event pages, and one-off file sharing. There's no AI, no content understanding, no collaboration, and no search. It does one thing: turn a file into a URL.
What is Fabric?
Fabric is an AI workspace that combines file storage, note-taking, search, tasks, collaboration, and publishing. The Fabric Memory Engine automatically extracts, enriches, and maps relationships between everything you save. Fabric also includes one-click publishing with analytics, password protection, and stakeholder-specific links. The content you share isn't separate from the content you work with. It's the same library.
Key differences
Share and forget vs share and keep using
Tiiny Host is transactional. You upload a file, send the link, and that's it. The file sits on Tiiny Host's servers. It's not connected to anything. You can't search it, reference it in other work, or ask the AI about it. It served its purpose. The link is the product.
Fabric's publishing is part of a workspace. The file you share is the same file you stored, the AI understands, and you can search alongside everything else. Share a pitch deck with a client and it stays in your library, connected to the meeting notes from the call, the research that informed it, and the follow-up you wrote afterwards. The link is one output. The content keeps working.
Analytics
Tiiny Host has basic page visit analytics on paid plans. You know someone visited. Not much more.
Fabric's publishing analytics show who viewed your content, when, and how long they spent. Dedicated stakeholder links let you track engagement per recipient. If you're sharing a proposal, a portfolio, or investor materials, knowing who actually read it and how much time they spent is the difference between guessing and knowing.
Content understanding
Tiiny Host hosts files. It doesn't read them, index them, or know what's inside them.
Fabric understands every file you save. Automatic extraction, enrichment, and relationship mapping. The content you publish is the same content the AI can search, summarise, and answer questions about. Your shared files are part of your knowledge, not disposable links.
Beyond sharing
Tiiny Host does sharing. That's the product. No notes, no documents, no tasks, no collaboration, no AI, no search.
Fabric does sharing as one feature inside a full workspace. Notes, documents, files, tasks, AI, semantic search, collaboration, spatial canvases, meeting transcription. If your workflow involves more than generating a link, Fabric covers the rest.
Persistence
Tiiny Host's free plan expires links after 60 minutes. Paid plans keep them live. But even on paid plans, the hosted file is isolated. It doesn't connect to anything else you're working on. It's a static link.
Fabric's content is persistent and connected by default. Everything you save is part of a growing library. Shared content doesn't expire. It stays searchable, AI-queryable, and linked to the rest of your work.
Pricing
Tiiny Host's free plan is a 60-minute preview. That's a demo, not a tool. The Tiny plan at $9/month gives you one permanent project. Solo at $18/month gives you five. For what's essentially a link generator with basic analytics, these prices add up if you share content regularly.
Fabric includes publishing with analytics at every tier alongside AI, file storage, search, collaboration, and everything else. [Insert Fabric pricing details.] You're not paying separately for the ability to share a file.
Where Tiiny Host is useful
Tiiny Host is fast. If you need to turn an HTML file into a live URL in 30 seconds for a quick demo, a class project, or a prototype, it does that without friction. No signup required on the free plan. Drag, drop, share. For truly one-off, disposable sharing where the content has no future value, that speed is the whole point.
When to use each
Use Fabric if the content you share has ongoing value. You want it stored, searchable, and connected to the rest of your work. You want analytics on who viewed it and how long they spent. You need notes, collaboration, AI, and search alongside your shared content. Publishing is one thing you do. Fabric is where you do everything.
Use Tiiny Host if you need to turn a static file into a URL in 30 seconds and you don't care what happens to it afterwards. Quick demos, class projects, throwaway prototypes, one-off file sharing where the content is disposable. Tiiny Host is fast, simple, and purpose-built for ephemeral sharing.
Why people move from Tiiny Host to Fabric
They wanted their shared content to stay useful. A link that expires or sits in isolation doesn't help with anything beyond the initial share. Fabric keeps shared content as part of a working library.
They wanted real analytics. Knowing someone visited a page is different from knowing who viewed your content, when, and for how long. Fabric's stakeholder-level analytics matter for anyone sharing proposals, portfolios, or deliverables.
They needed more than sharing. Tiiny Host shares files. It doesn't store them in a searchable library, connect them to other work, or make them available to AI. Fabric does all of that.
The free tier expired too fast. 60 minutes. That's a demo, not a tool. Fabric's free tier includes persistent storage, AI, and publishing.
