How to host an HTML website
- 01
Create a free account
Sign up with Google or email. No credit card, no trial clock.
- 02
Pick your address
Choose a name like
bakery-specials.statichero.site. You can connect your own domain later. - 03
Drop your files
Drag your
index.html, the whole project folder, or a.ziponto the dashboard. - 04
Share the link
Your site is live with HTTPS the moment the upload finishes. Update it any time by dropping new files.
Zero configuration
We detect your entry page, lift nested folders from ZIP files and set the right content types automatically.
Clean URLs
/about serves about.html. Folders with an index.html just work, with trailing-slash redirects handled for you.
Version history
Every upload is saved as a version. Roll back with one click or download any version as a ZIP.
Forms without a backend
Point any <form> at StaticHero and receive submissions in your dashboard and inbox.
Built-in analytics
Cookieless visitor stats are injected automatically on paid plans — nothing to paste.
Your own domain
Connect example.com with a single DNS record. Certificates are issued and renewed for you.

What counts as an “HTML website”?
Any site made of files a browser can open directly: .html pages, stylesheets, scripts, images, fonts, PDFs and videos. That includes hand-written pages, exported templates (Bootstrap, Webflow exports, Designmodo, Mobirise), documentation generated by tools, and the build output of frameworks like React, Vue, Astro or Svelte.
If you can double-click index.html on your computer and it works, it will work on StaticHero — usually better, because relative paths, fonts and fetch() calls behave properly once they are served over HTTPS.
Why static hosting is the right choice for most small sites
Static sites have no server code to patch and no database to get hacked. They load fast because there is nothing to compute per request, and they cost almost nothing to run — which is why we can offer a genuinely free plan.
The usual downside of static hosting is that the moment you need a contact form, visitor stats or a password, you end up stitching together three other services. StaticHero includes those pieces so a static site can stay static.
- Portfolios, résumés and personal homepages
- Landing pages and product launch pages
- Event, wedding and campaign microsites
- Client previews and prototypes
- Documentation, reports and one-off data visualisations
Updating your site
Drop a new version onto the same site and it replaces the old one instantly — links stay the same. For small tweaks, open the Files tab and edit HTML, CSS or JavaScript directly in the browser; saving publishes a new version.
Made a mistake? Every upload is kept in version history, so restoring yesterday’s site takes one click.
Is HTML hosting on StaticHero really free?
+
Yes. The Free plan hosts 1 website up to 10 MB on statichero.site subdomains with HTTPS, forever — with no badge or ads. Paid plans start at $5/month and add more sites, custom domains, forms and analytics.
Do I need to know how to code?
+
No. If you have an HTML file or a ZIP from a website builder, template marketplace or AI tool, you can drag it in and publish. The in-browser editor is there if you want to tweak text later.
Can I host multiple pages?
+
Yes. Upload a folder or ZIP with as many pages as you like. Links between pages, subfolders, images and assets all work as long as they use relative paths.
Does StaticHero run PHP or server-side code?
+
No. StaticHero hosts static files only — HTML, CSS, JavaScript and assets. For the most common server needs (contact forms, analytics, password protection) we provide built-in features so you don’t need a backend.
What happens to my links if I upload a new version?
+
Nothing changes for visitors — the address stays the same and the new content replaces the old one instantly. Old versions remain available to restore.
Your site could be live in the next minute.
One site free, forever. No credit card, no setup, no servers.
