Static hosting for HTML and CSS websites
Deploy static HTML, CSS and JavaScript files for landing pages, resumes, portfolios and documentation. Review current custom-domain and SSL options.
Benefits of static hosting on Deplomo
Automatic SSL via ACME and custom domains are available where supported. File delivery and site availability depend on package limits, deployment and network configuration.
Deploying HTML and CSS files
Upload static files or connect a Git repository where supported. The site becomes available after the configured deployment completes; timing depends on the project and service.
For landing pages, portfolios and documentation
Static hosting can suit campaign landing pages, portfolios, resumes and text-based documentation that do not need a server-side application.
Custom domains and automatic SSL certificates
Connect a supported custom domain and configure DNS. SSL certificates are issued and renewed automatically via ACME where domain setup is available.
Static file delivery and storage
Asset delivery speed and availability depend on the storage, deployment zone, network routes and traffic. Review the service limits and options for your project.
Frequently asked questions about static hosting
Answers to common questions about HTML sites, custom domains and static hosting.
A guide to static hosting for HTML and CSS websites
Landing pages, portfolios and documentation often do not need a database or complex content management system. Static hosting can reduce server-side components, but site security still depends on the code, dependencies, deployment and any connected services. Deployment time and availability depend on project size and configuration.
What is a static website, and how can HTML hosting affect loading?
A static site serves prebuilt files, while a dynamic app may run server-side code or query a database for each request. Serving prebuilt pages can reduce server-side processing, but response times depend on network and storage. Core Web Vitals and search visibility depend on many factors.
If you are building a content-focused site with a modern framework, consider Astro hosting to generate static pages with a small JavaScript bundle. To start an idea or host an early project, review the Free high-speed hosting within the published resource limits, then follow the Static site deployment guide for deployment steps.
Static file hosting compared with traditional shared hosting
Shared hosting providers differ in bandwidth, Git integration, server software and SSL options. Check the features and limits available on your plan.
Static hosting can serve your page files and support custom domains and ACME-issued SSL where available. Storage type, network performance and availability under traffic spikes depend on the package and configuration.
Compare static HTML hosting on Deplomo with shared hosting
The table summarizes common operational differences for static sites. Features vary by provider and package.
| Feature | Static hosting on Deplomo | Traditional cPanel shared hosting | Manual setup on a VPS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page loading and file delivery | Depends on package, network routes and caching configuration | Shared resources may affect performance; limits vary by provider | Depends on server hardware and Nginx configuration |
| Security considerations | Without server-side code or a database, a static site may have fewer backend components to secure, but no setup is completely secure. | Security depends on provider controls, account isolation and site configuration | VPS security requires maintaining firewall rules and system updates |
| Publishing and updating content | Git deployment or direct upload may be available, depending on service settings | Manual upload via FTP software | Set up Git pipelines and webhooks manually |
| Pricing and billing terms | Fixed monthly EUR packages with defined limits | Contract and refund terms vary; check them before subscribing | A monthly VPS may be more than a simple static site needs; compare package costs and requirements |
Static hosting can be a simple option for landing pages and other static content. Compare package prices, limits and any need for backend services.
Set up static website hosting
To deploy a static website on Deplomo, follow these steps when service creation is available:
- Open the Deplomo dashboard: In the dashboard, choose the option to create a static site if it is available for your account.
- Upload files or connect Git: Upload the folder containing `index.html`, styles and images, or connect a supported Git repository.
- Configure a domain: Connect a custom domain and configure DNS. A platform subdomain may be available for testing; check the current options.
- Deploy and configure SSL: Once deployment completes, the site may be available online. SSL certificates are issued and renewed via ACME where domain setup is supported; timing depends on deployment and DNS validation.
Static hosting overview
Static pages can be simple to host and maintain, but performance, security and availability depend on site code, configuration, network and service limits.
Upload your HTML files when service creation is available, then check the published site and deployment settings.
