Astro hosting for static sites
Build Astro content sites, blogs, and documentation with static output. Deployment is currently paused while service provisioning is unavailable.
Astro hosting features
Use Astro’s static output and supported framework integrations. Build behavior and performance depend on your project configuration and package limits.
Git-based deployment
Connect a GitHub or GitLab repository to build and deploy Astro site updates when a push triggers the configured workflow. Service creation and deployment are currently paused.
Astro Islands architecture and JavaScript output
Astro can limit client-side JavaScript to interactive islands. Page speed and Core Web Vitals depend on the site, assets, and configuration.
Static output and server-side rendering
Astro supports static generation and can use SSR adapters for server-rendered pages. Confirm that your adapter and runtime match the deployment target.
Custom domains and SSL
The platform provides a service subdomain. Custom-domain and certificate availability depend on current platform configuration; service creation is currently paused.
Package installation and external integrations
Install npm packages and connect an Astro project to a headless CMS or external API when the required credentials and network access are configured.

Astro hosting guide: building and serving Astro sites
Astro is designed for content-focused sites and can limit JavaScript sent to the browser. Its Islands architecture lets you add interactive components where needed. Deployment behavior and performance depend on your project and configuration. Deplomo’s Astro stack currently serves static build output; service creation and deployment are paused.
What is Astro, and how does it fit into web development?
Astro is a web framework often used for content sites, blogs, documentation, and landing pages. It renders pages as HTML and CSS by default, while client-side JavaScript can be added for interactive components.
Astro works with components from other frontend ecosystems. For highly interactive admin panels or single-page applications, frameworks such as React hosting or Svelte hosting may also suit your project.
What should I consider when deploying an Astro project?
With traditional shared hosting, you may need to build the project locally, upload the output, and configure routing yourself. The steps depend on the hosting setup and your project.
A Git-based build workflow can install packages and run a configured build in a container when deployment is available. For sites that are already built and ready to serve, Static hosting Deplomo’s static-site service is another option. Service creation and deployment are currently paused.
Astro deployment approaches compared
This table summarizes common differences between a configured Astro service, shared hosting, and a self-managed server. Actual features depend on the selected provider and setup:
| Feature | Deplomo Astro service | Conventional shared hosting (cPanel) | Unmanaged VPS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build and deployment workflow | Git-based build and deployment when enabled; currently paused | Manual upload of locally built files, often via FTP | Configure and maintain your own Git, build, and webhook workflow |
| Astro output mode | Static output is served by the current Astro stack; verify SSR requirements separately | Often serves static files; runtime support depends on the host | Configure and maintain a compatible Node.js runtime and web server as needed |
| Build environment and package installation | Container-based builds; package access depends on the environment and registry | Build tooling may need to be configured or run locally | Build environment and package access depend on your server configuration |
| Custom domains and certificates | Certificate support and automation depend on the platform and domain configuration | Options depend on the hosting control panel and its configuration | You manage certificate issuance and renewal for your server |
| Pricing and cost visibility | Plan and billing model | A Free plan has a 256 MB resource limit; paid Hobby and Pro plans use fixed monthly EUR pricing | Pricing and term options vary by provider |
| Server and network costs depend on your provider and configuration | Capacity and availability | Capacity depends on the selected plan and configuration | Capacity depends on the hosting plan and configuration |
Compare the build workflow, runtime support, plan limits, and domain options before choosing an Astro host. Availability depends on the provider and service status.
How to prepare and deploy an Astro project on Deplomo
For current setup details, see the guide at Deploy Astro . The usual workflow is:
- Connect a Git repository: Sign in to the Deplomo console and select a GitHub or GitLab repository if the integration is available.
- Choose a deployment branch: Select a branch such as main or production. Automatic deployment depends on the configured workflow and is currently paused.
- Configure environment variables: Add required configuration values in the environment-variable settings. Keep secret values private and do not expose them in client-side code.
- Build and deploy the service: The platform can build the project in a container when deployment is available. Service creation and deployment are currently paused.
The Deplomo Free plan may suit small projects that fit within its resource limits. See Free high-speed hosting for details; the plan has a 256 MB resource limit. Service creation is currently paused, and no trial wallet credit is provided.
How Astro can affect website performance and search visibility
Astro’s static output and limited client-side JavaScript can be useful for content-focused sites. Actual page speed, accessibility, and search performance depend on the site and its configuration.
- HTML output for indexing: Static HTML can help search engines process page content. Indexing and rankings are not guaranteed.
- Image optimization: Astro integrations or build tools can optimize images when configured; confirm which tools your project uses.
- Deployment region and network: Network latency depends on the service location, route, and user. No latency or delivery guarantee is implied.
- Package registry access during builds: Package installation depends on registry availability and the build environment’s network configuration.
Preparing an Astro project for deployment
Astro is often used for content sites and business pages, with static generation and integrations available through project configuration. Deplomo supports Astro static build output; domain, certificate, plan, and deployment options depend on current platform availability.
Review the Astro deployment guide and check service availability before planning a deployment.
