Static sites

Combine filters →

Static hosting has nothing to crash: HTML, CSS and images are served from disk or a CDN edge. That makes it the cheapest and most reliable thing to host, and it moves the interesting question to the build — whether the provider runs the site generator on every push, or expects a finished directory. Where a site needs a form or a search, it needs a second service too.

Who is the best host for static sites?

We can't tell from here. A host that suits a small agency site can be wrong for an API with users in Asia and Europe. The list is alphabetical and nobody paid for a place on it. The guide covers what to compare.
