So what is a "static" website?
A static website is made of pre-built files — HTML for structure, CSS for styling, and JavaScript for interactivity. Every visitor gets the same files, delivered directly from a server with no processing in between.
Unlike WordPress or PHP sites that build each page on the fly (querying databases, running server code), static sites are already built. This makes them faster, more secure, and cheaper to host.
If your site doesn't need a backend database or server-side logic, it's probably static — and you're overpaying for traditional hosting.
Why static website hosting just works
No servers to manage, no databases to secure, no complexity to wrestle with. Static hosting is the simplest, fastest, most secure way to put a website online.
Lightning Fast
No database queries or server processing. Files are served directly from edge locations worldwide, delivering sub-second load times.
Inherently Secure
No server-side code means no SQL injection, no server exploits, no security patches. Static sites have a minimal attack surface by design.
Costs Almost Nothing
No application servers, no databases, no backend infrastructure. Static hosting is dramatically cheaper — and free on dplooy.
Scales Effortlessly
Whether you get 10 visitors or 10,000, static files are served the same way. No server crashes, no scaling configuration needed.
Zero Maintenance
No OS updates, no runtime patches, no dependency vulnerabilities. Deploy and forget — your site just works.
SEO Optimized
Faster load times and reliable uptime directly improve search rankings. Static sites consistently score higher on Core Web Vitals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about static website hosting.
What is static website hosting?
Static website hosting serves pre-built HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files directly to visitors without any server-side processing. Unlike dynamic hosting (WordPress, PHP), there are no databases or server scripts — just fast, secure file delivery. If your website doesn't need a backend, static hosting is faster, cheaper, and more secure.
Is static hosting really free?
Yes! dplooy's free plan includes 3 hosted websites, 50MB storage, free SSL certificates, and custom subdomains. No credit card required, no hidden fees, no ads on your site. Upgrade to Plus ($4.99/mo) or Pro ($12.99/mo) for more storage and features.
What files can I host?
You can host HTML files, CSS stylesheets, JavaScript files, images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG), fonts, PDFs, and any other static assets. You can upload individual files, ZIP archives, or deploy from GitHub.
Can I use my own domain?
Free and Plus users get a custom subdomain (yoursite.dplooy.com). Pro plan supports custom domains — connect any domain you own with automatic SSL provisioning.
How is this different from GitHub Pages or Netlify?
dplooy focuses on simplicity. No build steps, no CLI tools, no YAML config files. Just drag and drop your files and you're live. We also include a visual site builder, built-in code editor, analytics, password protection, and AI chatbot — features that competitors charge extra for or don't offer.
Can I host React, Vue, or other framework sites?
Yes! After building your framework project (npm run build), upload the output folder (usually dist/ or build/). dplooy serves the static output files. You can also deploy directly from GitHub for automated builds.
Do I need to know how to code?
No! You can use our visual site builder with 19+ templates to create a website without writing any code. If you do code, upload your files directly. Either way, no command line or technical knowledge is required.
How fast will my website load?
Static sites on dplooy load extremely fast because files are served directly from our global CDN — no database queries or server processing. Most sites achieve sub-second load times and score 90+ on Google PageSpeed.
