What can you build with static site hosting?

Static site hosting supports any project that compiles to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Common use cases include portfolio websites, technical documentation, marketing landing pages, presentation slide decks, agency client sites, blogs, and event microsites. Modern static site generators like Astro, Hugo, Next.js, and SvelteKit produce fast, secure output that can be deployed to a global CDN.

Is static site hosting suitable for business websites?

Yes. Static sites are increasingly used for business-critical web properties including marketing sites, product documentation, and client-facing portfolios. They offer better security (no server-side vulnerabilities), faster page loads (served from CDN edge nodes), and lower operational cost than traditional hosting. For EU businesses, deploybase adds GDPR-compliant hosting with all data stored in Europe.

Which frameworks work with static site hosting?

deploybase supports 8 frameworks with auto-detection: Astro, Hugo, Next.js (static export), SvelteKit (adapter-static), Vite, Gatsby, Jekyll, and plain HTML. Any tool that outputs static files can be deployed with a custom build command.

Use Cases

What You Can Build with Static Site Hosting

Static sites are no longer limited to blogs and personal pages. Teams use static site generators to build presentation decks, developer portfolios, technical documentation, marketing landing pages, and full client websites. The output is fast, secure, and cheap to host — HTML files served from a CDN edge node load in under 100 milliseconds for 90% of global visitors. deploybase gives you EU-hosted infrastructure, git-connected deploys for 8 frameworks, and features like branch previews and password-protected share links that make static sites practical for professional use cases.

Presentations

Host slide decks built with any HTML framework

Deploy presentations built with RevealJS, Slidev, or any HTML-based tool. Share with password protection, present from a custom domain, and keep full ownership of your content. No vendor lock-in.

Portfolios

Developer and designer portfolio sites

Ship portfolio sites built with Astro, Hugo, SvelteKit, or static HTML. Custom domains with automatic TLS, global CDN delivery, and instant rollback when you push a bad update.

Documentation

Technical docs and knowledge bases

Host documentation built with Starlight, Docusaurus, VitePress, or MkDocs. Branch previews let your team review doc changes before merging. Auto-deploy on push keeps docs in sync with code.

The Static Site Renaissance

Why Static Is Winning

Static sites are the fastest and most secure way to deliver web content. Because every page is pre-built at deploy time and served as a plain HTML file from a CDN edge node, there is no server to hack, no database to compromise, and no cold-start latency to worry about. A static page served from a nearby CDN PoP typically loads in 50-80 milliseconds — fast enough that visitors perceive it as instant.

This performance advantage has real business impact. Google's Core Web Vitals research shows that sites meeting the "good" threshold for Largest Contentful Paint (under 2.5 seconds) see 24% fewer page abandonments. Static sites meet this threshold by default because there is no server-side rendering delay. As of 2026, 43% of sites still fail the INP 200ms threshold — static sites sidestep this entirely because interaction is handled by client-side JavaScript, not server round-trips.

The AI Content Pipeline

The rise of AI coding tools has made static site generators more accessible than ever. Developers use Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot to scaffold entire sites in minutes — from RevealJS presentations to Astro documentation portals to Hugo portfolio sites. The output is always the same: a folder of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files ready to deploy. With 31% of US search users now relying on generative AI tools, the content creation bottleneck has shifted from writing to publishing and hosting.

deploybase fits naturally into this workflow. Connect your Git repository, push your AI-generated site, and we handle the build, CDN upload, and TLS certificate. Framework auto-detection means zero configuration for the 8 most popular static site generators. Branch preview URLs let you share work-in-progress with teammates before merging — a workflow that's especially useful when iterating on AI-generated content.

Beyond Personal Projects

The common misconception about static sites is that they're only suitable for personal blogs and hobby projects. In practice, static site generators power some of the most demanding web properties: Stripe's documentation, Cloudflare's developer docs, and countless marketing sites for companies that need fast, reliable page loads. Comparison pages alone convert at 5-10% — five times the rate of general organic traffic — because visitors arrive with clear purchase intent.

For professional use cases, the missing pieces have traditionally been collaboration and compliance. How do you share a staging version with a client? How do you prove to your compliance team that customer data stays in the EU? deploybase addresses both: password-protected share links for client review and stakeholder approval, and EU-only infrastructure — from Scaleway Paris compute to Bunny.net CDN (EU-headquartered) to Vatly payment processing — that keeps all data European by architecture, not just by contract.

Supported Frameworks

Every use case on this page works with any of the 8 frameworks deploybase supports. Auto-detection configures the build command and output directory automatically — push your code and we handle the rest.

Framework	Build Command	Output	Best For
Astro	`npm run build`	`dist`	Content sites, docs, marketing pages
Hugo	`hugo --minify`	`public`	Blogs, portfolios, large-scale content
Next.js	`npm run build`	`out`	Marketing sites, landing pages
SvelteKit	`npm run build`	`build`	Interactive sites, dashboards
Vite	`npm run build`	`dist`	SPAs, presentations (Slidev)
Gatsby	`npm run build`	`public`	Data-driven marketing sites
Jekyll	`jekyll build`	`_site`	Blogs, documentation, GitHub-style sites
Static HTML	`echo done`	`.`	Hand-coded sites, exported designs
