The problem
The problem this solves
Free link-in-bio tools (Linktree, Beacons) look cheap, leak your traffic to third parties, and display ads to your audience. Building a real personal site traditionally required paying recurring hosting fees for a site with few changes.
The payoff
What you get
Zero Hosting Fees
Free 1-page site on your custom domain with wholesale domain pricing
Host your personal resume, bio, links, and featured work with zero monthly platform subscriptions. Pay only for your domain at wholesale registry cost, set by the registry.
Full Portability
Your site is an open document, not a locked-in database
The site is stored as an open JSON SiteSpec, and your content is readable over a public API without a key. There is no export fee, no licence fence, and no vendor tool in the way — and your domain was never the builder's.
Blazing Speed
Sub-50ms Anycast edge delivery leaves a lasting first impression
Whether an investor, recruiter, or collaborator clicks your link from New York, London, or Tokyo, your personal site is served from the edge nearest them.
How-to guides
The guides behind this
- How-To Guide
Site structure — pages, sections and where your copy lives
Pages, slugs and sections, and how the visual editor and the AI engine touch the same structure.
- How-To Guide
How to export your website — what you can take, and what we do not ship
What you actually own on this platform, how to read it out over the public API, and the three things we do not ship: a CLI, a static bundle, and an export fee.
- How-To Guide
ICP filing (网站备案): what it is, and when your site actually needs it
Filing is an administrative step a site takes before a mainland server serves it to the public. It costs nothing. Whether you need it depends on one thing only: where the site is served from.

Pods that earn their place
The alternative
Where this differs
Generic LinkedIn profiles, cluttered bio-link aggregators, and costly template builders
What usually goes wrong
- Paying builders like Squarespace or Wix every year for a simple personal page
- Link-in-bio aggregators that brand themselves and push their own products to your audience
- Social profiles where algorithms determine who sees your work, subject to sudden account suspensions
The Zeso approach
True digital sovereignty: free 1-page hosting on your own custom domain, zero ads, sub-50ms edge delivery, and an open JSON SiteSpec you keep.
