For Developers
Host a static website in 30 seconds — just upload a ZIP and go live
ZIP your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, upload it, and your site is live on a global CDN with HTTPS. No server setup, no GitHub integration, no framework adapters, no CLI tools. Just drag, drop, and your website is online with a shareable URL or your own custom domain.
Simple static website hosting without the DevOps complexity
Netlify wants you to connect a Git repo. Vercel needs a framework adapter. GitHub Pages requires a public repository. AWS S3 needs IAM policies and CloudFront configuration. If you just want to put a static website online — HTML, CSS, JS, images — all of that is unnecessary complexity. Hostupa takes the simplest possible approach: ZIP your build folder, upload it, and the site is live. Global CDN delivery, automatic SSL, custom domain support. When you have a new version, upload the new ZIP to the same project and the URL stays identical. No build pipelines, no deploy commands, no yaml files.
How it works
ZIP your website files
Package your HTML, CSS, JS, images, and fonts into a ZIP file. Put index.html at the root of the archive. Any static build output works — hand-coded HTML, React build, Hugo export, or Tailwind output.
Upload and go live instantly
Drop the ZIP into Hostupa. Files are extracted and served on a global CDN with automatic HTTPS. Your site is live and accessible worldwide within seconds of upload.
Connect your domain (optional)
Use the default hostupa.com subdomain for free, or connect your own domain. Point your DNS to Hostupa and SSL is provisioned automatically — no certificate setup required.
What you get
ZIP upload deployment
Upload a complete static site as a ZIP — no file-by-file uploads, no Git integration.
Global CDN
Your site is cached at edge locations worldwide for sub-100ms load times anywhere.
Free SSL / HTTPS
Every site gets HTTPS automatically — custom domains included. No certificate management.
Custom domains
Connect yourdomain.com with automatic DNS verification and SSL provisioning.
Zero-downtime updates
Upload a new ZIP to the same project. The URL stays the same, content updates instantly.
Built-in analytics
See visitor counts, top pages, and traffic patterns without adding tracking scripts.
Real-world examples
React, Vue, or Angular app
Run your production build (npm run build), ZIP the dist or build folder, and upload. Client-side routing and all JavaScript works normally. No framework-specific adapter needed.
Documentation site
Build docs with Docusaurus, MkDocs, or any static generator. ZIP the output and upload. Connect docs.yourdomain.com as a custom domain.
Marketing landing page
Export a landing page from your design tool or build it with Tailwind. Upload the ZIP to get a live URL for testing, then connect the production domain when ready.
Personal blog or portfolio
Generate a static blog with Eleventy, Hugo, Astro, or Jekyll. ZIP the output and upload. Re-upload whenever you publish a new post — the URL stays the same.
Frequently asked questions
Can I host a static website for free?
Yes. The free plan includes a hostupa.com subdomain, SSL, CDN delivery, and enough storage for a personal site, landing page, or documentation site. Paid plans add custom domains, higher bandwidth, more projects, and analytics.
How do I deploy a static site to Hostupa?
Build your site locally using any tool — React, Vue, Hugo, Eleventy, hand-coded HTML, or any other approach. ZIP the output folder (ensure index.html is at the root), upload the ZIP to Hostupa, and your site is live within seconds. No Git repo connection, no CLI, no build configuration.
Does Hostupa support custom domains?
Yes. Custom domains are available on paid plans. Add your domain in the dashboard, update your DNS records (CNAME or A record), and SSL is provisioned automatically within minutes. Your site then serves from yourdomain.com over HTTPS.
Can I host a React or Next.js static export?
Yes. For React apps, run your production build to generate the static output (dist or build folder). For Next.js, use 'next export' to produce static HTML. ZIP the folder and upload it. Client-side routing, JavaScript, and all static assets work as expected.
How do I update my static website after deploying?
Rebuild your site locally, create a new ZIP, and upload it to the same project. The URL stays identical and content updates instantly with zero downtime. No re-deployment commands or CI/CD pipeline needed.
How does Hostupa compare to Netlify or Vercel for static hosting?
Netlify and Vercel are powerful but complex — they require Git repository connections, build configuration, and framework-specific adapters. Hostupa is intentionally simpler: upload a ZIP and the site is live. No Git, no yaml, no build steps. This makes it faster for quick deploys, prototypes, client previews, and sites that don't need continuous deployment.
Is there a bandwidth or traffic limit?
Free plans include generous bandwidth for personal sites and small projects. Paid plans offer higher limits suitable for production websites with significant traffic. CDN caching means bandwidth is used efficiently — repeat visitors are served from cache.
Can I host multiple static websites?
Yes. Each website is a separate project. Free plans allow a limited number of projects, while paid plans support many more. Each project gets its own URL and can optionally connect its own custom domain.
