Launching static website hosting

We are constantly looking for ways to provide the best solutions for the modern website ecosystem, so today we are excited to announce the addition of a new product to our hosting services, Sitecloud Static Hosting.

In an era where website design and flexibility for designers and developers is everyday more demanding, static websites have surged in popularity, especially within the JAMstack (JavaScript, APIs, Markup) architecture. We recognized the growing need for a simple, powerful and affordable way to host these modern web development paradigms, and we’ve built a solution from the ground up to meet that demand.

What is Static Website Hosting?

Let’s quickly break it down. Unlike dynamic websites that generate content on the fly using server-side languages and databases (like WordPress or Drupal), static websites consist of pre-built HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files.

Put simply, static websites are made up of pre-rendered HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files — no backend processing, no server-side scripts. When someone visits a static site, their browser gets the content instantly, with no need to generate it on the fly.

These pre-built files are delivered directly to your visitors’ browsers, often via a Content Delivery Network (CDN), resulting in significantly faster load times and enhanced security. Because the content is pre-built, it loads faster and avoids many of the security risks tied to dynamic sites.
