What is Static Hosting?
Static hosting serves pre-built HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files directly to visitors without any server-side processing. The files are delivered as-is, making static hosting extremely fast, secure, and inexpensive to operate.
How Does Static Hosting Work?
Unlike dynamic hosting where a server processes each request, generates HTML on the fly, and queries databases, static hosting simply delivers pre-built files. These files are typically generated at build time using static site generators and then deployed to a hosting platform. Since there is no server-side code execution, static sites load very quickly and have a minimal attack surface.
Static hosting is ideal for portfolios, landing pages, documentation sites, and blogs. Modern static hosting platforms often include global CDN distribution, automatic HTTPS, and continuous deployment from Git repositories. Services like Linkyhost make it easy to host static files for free, providing a simple way to get a website online without any server management.
