- 2
Pick an address
Type a name and we'll tell you straight away whether it's free. That becomes the link: legacy-deck-template.99helpers.site
- 3
Publish and share
Create a free account — that step exists so the file is yours to update, replace or delete — and the link is live within seconds.
The same three steps work for any file — see how file hosting works on 99helpers.com.
What happens when someone opens the link
The file downloads, and opening it creates a new presentation from the template.
Why host a POT file instead of emailing it?
Old templates are worth keeping reachable, particularly where a brand refresh never quite happened.
Worth knowing before you publish
- Saving as .potx modernises it and avoids compatibility warnings.
- Old templates may contain macros — check before publishing.
- Fonts from the era may not be installed on modern machines.
POT hosting questions
