All four put a static website online free with SSL, though on Static.app free means a 7-day trial, while the other three have a free tier that doesn't expire. The bigger difference is how you publish: GitHub Pages, Netlify, and Vercel are built around Git and build pipelines, while Static.app is built to drag and drop a finished website and have it live in seconds. Here is a fair look, including where the others win.
| Static.app | GitHub Pages | Netlify | Vercel | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Publish method | Drag and drop a ZIP with your HTML, no Git | Commit to a repo or GitHub Actions | Git push and build pipeline | Git push or Vercel CLI |
| Free tier custom domain + SSL | Free SSL; custom domain on paid plans from $6/mo (free subdomain during the trial) | Included free | Included free | Included free |
| Commercial use on free tier | Yes, on the trial and paid plans | Restricted (no online business or e-commerce) | Yes | No (Hobby is personal only) |
| Keep source private | Yes, no public repo needed | Free tier needs a public repo | Yes | Yes |
| Built-in forms | Included on paid plans | None | Included | None |
| Built-in analytics | Included on paid plans, privacy-friendly | None | Free ~1 day, longer on paid | Free on Hobby (1-month window) |
| In-browser file editor | Edit files after upload | No visual editor | No simple static-file editor | None |
| QR codes | Included | No | No | No |
| Best for | Uploading a finished website and getting it live fast, no Git | Developers already working in Git repos | Git-based build pipelines | Frontend framework deployments |
Competitor details from each platform's official pricing and docs, verified June 2026. On the free tier GitHub Pages, Netlify, and Vercel include a custom domain, while on Static.app a custom domain is a paid feature (the 7-day trial includes a free subdomain with SSL).
What is Free HTML Hosting by Static.app?
Free HTML hosting is a web host service where you can put a static website online at no cost. It is aimed at HTML-based websites, which have no backend processing or dynamic content rendering, making it a good fit for personal portfolios, small business pages and landing pages. Static.app offers it as a 7-day free trial with a focus on simplicity and ease of use. After the trial, publishing needs a paid plan from $6 a month.
How do I get started with Static.app?
Get started by signing up on Static.app. After that, it’s simply a matter of uploading your website’s HTML files with our user-friendly drag-and-drop interface. Once uploaded, select a Subdomain provided by Static.app or connect your own domain, making your website accessible on the internet. The setup doesn’t require any technical skills.
What are the limitations of the free HTML hosting trial?
The 7-day free trial hosts one static website on a free Static.app subdomain with free SSL, and supports file uploads up to 50 MB. Paid plans, from $6 a month, add your own custom domain, more websites, larger uploads of up to 1 GB, built-in forms, and privacy-friendly analytics.
Can I use my domain with free HTML hosting?
The free trial gives you a free Static.app subdomain with SSL. To connect your own custom domain, you upgrade to a paid plan, which starts at $6 a month and includes free SSL on your domain. Setup is a matter of adding two DNS records with your registrar and linking the domain in Static.app.
What kind of support can I expect with the free HTML hosting by Static.app?
During the free trial, basic customer support is available through our help docs and by email. It is not as fast as the priority support on paid plans, but it covers what you need to get your website online and manage it.
How does Static.app ensure the security of websites hosted for free?
Static.app gives its highest consideration to security by offering SSL certificates absolutely free for all the websites hosted there, ensuring encrypted connections. We’re developing standard security protocols in order to secure our servers as well as your hosted content. By frequent updating and installation of the security patches, we claim to keep your website safeguarded.
Can I upgrade my free HTML hosting to a paid plan in the future?
Yes, and there is no hassle. Upgrading from the free trial to a paid subscription unlocks more storage, more websites, and features the trial doesn't include, such as custom domains, forms, and analytics, so your website can grow with you.
Can I add more than one website?
Yes. The free trial includes one website, and paid plans host more, from 2 websites on the $6 a month plan up to 30 on higher plans. Each website has its own content and can use its own custom domain, all managed under a single account.
