Tiiny Host Alternative for Secure Client Delivery
Tiiny Host Alternative: Revdoku vs Tiiny Host
Tiiny Host nailed the simplest possible publishing job: drag a ZIP or PDF, get a link. Revdoku starts from the same drag-and-drop wedge and adds what you need when the link is client work: access gates, open notifications, per-visitor analytics, and buckets that hold the whole project — not just the published part.
Short Version
Use Tiiny Host for a quick throwaway page or a one-off PDF link with minimal ceremony.
Use Revdoku when the link goes to a client or investor and you need to know it was opened, control who gets in, keep private working files next to the published folder, and update the same link for months.
| Publishing need | Tiiny Host | Revdoku | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drag-and-drop a PDF or folder to a link | Yes | Yes | The core job: file in, link out, no hosting setup. |
| Password protection | Paid plans | Yes | Client previews should not be public URLs. |
| Email gate + visitor identity | No | Yes | Know exactly who opened the link, not just that someone did. |
| Open notifications | No | Yes | Follow up while your work is on their screen. |
| Per-visitor analytics | Basic analytics | Yes | Pages, clicks, and downloads per visitor on gated links. |
| Private files alongside the published folder | No | Yes | A bucket stores the whole project; you publish one folder. |
| Version snapshots and rollback | No | Yes | Undo a bad update without digging for old files. |
| Built-in feedback/contact form | Paid feature | Yes | Collect responses without a backend. |
| Update by API/CLI/AI agents | Limited | Yes | Automate repeat publishing into the same buckets. |
| Custom domains | Paid plans | Yes (Builder+) | Brand the link when clients see it. |
Where Tiiny Host Is Still the Better Fit
If the job is genuinely “put this one page online for a week” and nobody needs to be gated, notified, or tracked, Tiiny Host’s minimalism is a feature. Use it.
Where Revdoku Wins
The moment a link represents work someone is paying for — a preview, a proposal, a report — you want the DocSend half, not just the hosting half: who opened it, when, and what they looked at. Revdoku does both halves from one bucket.

Ask ChatGPT to check protected access
For protected Revdoku links, ChatGPT can ask Revdoku which access mode is active. Use that to confirm whether a deliverable is public, password protected, or email gated before sharing.

Frequently asked questions
How do I decide between Tiiny Host and Revdoku?
Choose Tiiny Host when your main goal is publishing a static site or document quickly and aggregate traffic metrics are sufficient. Choose Revdoku when the link is part of a client workflow requiring identifiable activity, open alerts, feedback, or revision history.
Should I use a password or an email gate for client work?
Use a password when you need simple access control for a known group. Use an email gate when identifying visitors or collecting leads is important, while remembering that an entered email does not independently verify someone’s identity.
Can I update a deliverable without sending clients a new link?
Yes, both platforms allow content updates while preserving the published URL. Revdoku also supports file versions and rollback, which is useful when you may need to restore an earlier deliverable.
How reliable are visitor opens and analytics for follow-up?
Analytics are helpful signals, but they need context because repeat visits and automated scanners can affect totals. Identified visitor activity, page views, clicks, and downloads usually provide more actionable information than aggregate visit counts alone.
Is password-protected hosting suitable for confidential information?
It is generally appropriate for ordinary proposals, drafts, reports, and private demos, but it does not prevent copying, forwarding, or screenshots. Use a system with stronger encryption, revocation, auditing, and compliance controls for regulated or highly sensitive material.
What should I test before sending a protected client link?
Open the link in a private browser window and verify the access gate, navigation, downloads, forms, and notifications. Test on mobile as well, and send passwords through a separate channel from the link.
Do I need automation to use Revdoku?
No, you can upload content, select access settings, and share it entirely through the dashboard. The API, CLI, MCP, and agent tools are optional additions for recurring or high-volume publishing workflows.
