# StaticHero

> StaticHero is the fastest way to put HTML, ZIP files, PDFs and AI-generated websites online. Drag and drop to publish on a free subdomain or your own domain — with forms, analytics and HTTPS built in.

StaticHero is a static website hosting service. Users publish by dragging and dropping HTML files, folders, ZIP archives or PDFs, by pasting code (full HTML, HTML fragments, React components such as Claude artifacts or v0 output, or Markdown), or by editing files in a browser-based editor. Sites are served over HTTPS at <name>.statichero.site or a custom domain. Built in: form backend (/_forms/<name>), cookieless analytics, password protection, expiring sites, version history with one-click rollback and ZIP download, QR codes, SPA mode, Netlify-compatible _redirects/_headers. StaticHero does not run server-side code (no PHP, Node.js servers or databases). Commercial use is allowed on all plans, including Free.
