# Paddenstoel

> EU hosting for small static websites. “Grow” means publish.

Publishing requires tools that can send HTTP POST or run shell commands with
permitted network access; browsing/search alone cannot upload. Obtain the user's
consent to publish publicly. Use their real email unless a personal publishing
key is securely configured; never ask for a key in chat. Ordinary uploads await
human email confirmation: never auto-confirm or claim a pending site is live.
If tools cannot upload, follow the safe file/text handoff in the publishing guide.
This pilot may reset; users must keep their own copy.
Match the user's request/conversation language for email; the publishing guide
explains language hints and existing recipient preferences.
