Host Sites

Your own branded page at /h/{slug} where fans find your events and a follow button.

What a host site is

A host site is your public hub on the platform, living at /h/ plus your chosen address. Out of the box it shows who you are, lists your upcoming events, and gives regulars a follow button so they hear about your next night; sections like a leaderboard or persistent-team standings are optional blocks you add yourself. It is server-rendered for search engines and never bounces a visitor to a login screen.

Every host gets a site automatically the first time it is accessed, pre-filled from the events and venues you already run and published right away. From there you can rename the address, add sections, and shape it into a real landing page for your hosting business.

Your address (the slug)

The slug is the part after /h/ in your URL. It must be 3 to 63 characters, lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, with no leading or trailing hyphen. A starter address is derived from your username or name; on the Starter plan and above you can pick a custom one.

Some words are reserved because they would collide with core routes (like 'admin', 'events', or 'play'), so those are not available. The builder checks availability as you type and tells you if an address is taken or reserved.

Keep the slug short and memorable. It is what you print on flyers and say out loud at the bar, so 'trivia-with-sam' beats a long string of words.

Build the page with sections

The site is a stack of sections you add, reorder, and hide. Core sections cover a hero banner, an about block, upcoming events, your venues, rich text, images and galleries, a leaderboard, persistent teams, and an RSVP calendar. Drag them into the order you want.

The builder unlocks on the Starter plan and above. Free sites show the auto-assembled hub. Higher plans add more sections and a higher cap on how many you can place: a members-only community wall, a Flyer Studio section, and custom HTML each come with the plan that includes them.

  1. Open your site from the host tools and review the auto-filled hub.
  2. Set your custom address if your plan allows it, and confirm it is available.
  3. Add the sections you want and drag them into order.
  4. Fill in the hero, about, and any rich text with your own words.
  5. Publish (or unpublish while you work on it).

Followers and your contact list

Any logged-in visitor can follow your site. The follower count shows on the page and follows travel with you: a follow can grant access to your members-only community area, and it drops the follower into your host contact list so you can reach regulars later.

You cannot follow yourself, and unfollowing cleanly removes the member access it granted. The follow button is enhanced live on the page, so the count updates without a reload.

Members-only areas

Higher plans let you gate the whole site, or individual sections, to members only. A visitor becomes a member by following you. This is how you run a private community wall or share content just for your regulars. The gate is enforced on the server, so hidden sections stay hidden even if someone pokes at the page.

Your site is provisioned and published the first time it is opened, using data you already expose through event landings and venue discovery. Unpublish it any time from the builder if you want to keep it private while you work.

Reserved and taken addresses are rejected up front, so you cannot accidentally claim a slug that shadows a core page or belongs to another host.
