For Marketers
Share banner ad creatives for QA without FTP or email attachments
Upload HTML5 banners, static images, or ZIP creative packs and get a hosted URL for QA review. Share with media buyers, clients, and developers. Update the creative and the same link serves the new version — no re-sending, no FTP.
How marketing teams use Hostupa to test banner ads
Banner ad QA is a coordination headache — creatives bounce between designers, media buyers, and clients via email attachments that get blocked or FTP servers that require access setup. Hostupa simplifies this: upload the HTML5 banner, image creative, or ZIP pack, share the hosted link, and everyone reviews it in their browser. Update the creative and the same link serves the new version, so there is never confusion about which version is current.
How it works
Upload your banner creative
Upload an HTML5 banner, static image (PNG, JPEG, GIF), or a ZIP of creative assets. Hostupa serves it on a hosted URL instantly.
Share for QA review
Send the link to media buyers, clients, and developers. They view the creative in their browser on any device — no download needed.
Iterate and update
Re-upload revised creatives to the same project. The URL stays the same, so reviewers always see the latest version without you re-sending links.

Real-world examples
HTML5 banner QA
Upload an HTML5 banner and share the link with the media buying team. They test it across browsers and devices before pushing it live.
Client creative review
Upload a set of banner sizes (300x250, 728x90, 160x600) as a ZIP. Share the link with the client for final approval before the campaign launches.
A/B creative comparison
Upload variant A to one project and variant B to another. Share both links with the team and compare view tracking to inform the final decision.
Frequently asked questions
Can I host HTML5 banner ads on Hostupa?
Yes. Upload the HTML5 banner file (or a ZIP containing the HTML, CSS, JS, and assets) and Hostupa serves it on a hosted URL. The banner renders in the reviewer's browser exactly as it would in a live ad placement. This is useful for QA testing before pushing creatives live.
How do I share banner creatives for QA review?
Upload the creative to Hostupa and share the hosted URL with your QA team, media buyers, or clients. They open the link in their browser and view the creative on any device — desktop, mobile, or tablet. No FTP access, no email attachments, no download required.
Can I update a banner creative without re-sending the link?
Yes. Re-upload the revised creative to the same project and the URL stays identical. Reviewers who bookmarked the link will see the updated banner on their next visit. This eliminates the confusion of multiple email threads with different creative versions.
What banner ad formats does Hostupa support?
Hostupa supports HTML5 banners (single HTML file or ZIP with assets), static images (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP), and ZIP creative packs containing multiple banner sizes. Animated GIFs and HTML5 animations render correctly in the browser viewer.
Can I test how my banner looks on different devices?
Yes. Open the hosted URL on any device — desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. The banner renders in the browser at its actual dimensions. This lets you verify that responsive HTML5 banners adapt correctly and that static creatives display properly across screen sizes.
