For Developers
Host your static website in 30 seconds
ZIP your build output, upload it, and your site is live on a global CDN with SSL. No server configuration, no Git provider setup, no framework adapters — just a hosted URL you can share or connect to a custom domain.
Why developers choose Hostupa for static website hosting
Static site hosting should not require connecting a GitHub repo, configuring build settings, or choosing a framework adapter. Hostupa takes a simpler approach: ZIP your static build — HTML, CSS, JS, images, fonts, everything — and upload it. The site is live instantly on a CDN-backed URL with automatic SSL. When you push a new build, re-upload to the same project and the URL stays the same.
How it works
ZIP your website
Package your HTML, CSS, JS, and assets into a single ZIP file. The entry point should be index.html at the root of the archive.
Upload and publish
Drop the ZIP in the upload modal. Hostupa extracts the files and serves your site on a global CDN with SSL — instantly.
Go live with your domain
Use the default hostupa.com subdomain or connect your own domain. SSL is provisioned automatically for custom domains.

Upload a full static site as a ZIP — no file-by-file uploads.

Files are cached globally so your site loads fast anywhere.
Custom domain
Connect your domain with automatic SSL provisioning.
SSL included
Every site gets HTTPS by default — no certificate setup.
In-place updates
Push new builds to the same URL for every deployment.
Traffic analytics
See visitor counts and traffic patterns from the dashboard.
Real-world examples
Documentation site
Build your docs with a static site generator, ZIP the output, and upload. Share the URL with your team or connect a docs.yourdomain.com subdomain.
Marketing landing page
Export a landing page build as a ZIP. Upload it to get a live URL for testing before connecting the production domain.
Personal blog
Generate a static blog with Eleventy or Hugo, ZIP the dist folder, and upload. Re-upload whenever you publish a new post.
Frequently asked questions
Can I host a static website for free on Hostupa?
Yes. The free plan lets you host a limited number of projects with a hostupa.com subdomain and SSL. This is enough for a personal site, a landing page, or a documentation site. Paid plans add custom domains, higher bandwidth, and increased project limits.
How do I deploy a static site to Hostupa?
Build your site locally using any tool — a static site generator, a framework export, or hand-coded HTML. ZIP the output folder (ensure index.html is at the root), upload the ZIP to Hostupa, and your site is live. No Git integration, CLI tools, or framework adapters required.
Does Hostupa support custom domains for static websites?
Yes. Custom domains are available on paid plans. Add your domain in the dashboard, update your DNS records to point to Hostupa, and SSL is provisioned automatically. Your static site then serves from yourdomain.com.
Can I host a React, Vue, or Angular static site?
Yes. Run your production build locally to generate the static output (typically a dist or build folder with HTML, CSS, and JS). ZIP that folder and upload it. Hostupa serves the files statically — client-side routing and all client-side JavaScript work normally.
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, so visitors always see the latest version. This workflow is ideal for content updates, design changes, or pushing new builds during development.
