WebTiles are miniature 250x250 pixel websites that link to your real domain, but hosting them requires verification. A developer tested free subdomain hosts to see which ones allow the required .well-known/kicya file verification without spending money. NekoWeb, NeoCities, and on.Drv.tw work with direct file editing, making them ideal for beginners.

For users comfortable with Git, Cloudflare Pages, Render, and GitHub Pages support the verification process but require repository setup. GitHub Pages is particularly restrictive, needing two separate repos. A creative workaround exists for hosts like static.domains and surge.sh that block .well-known access by using a custom 404.html file instead.

Several popular free hosts, including InfinityFree and ByetHost, were blacklisted for preventing verification through cPanel restrictions. The pattern suggests any free host using cPanel will likely require a paid upgrade for custom error pages or DNS records. This practical guide helps developers choose a host that aligns with their technical comfort level for creating multiple WebTiles.
