All four host static websites for free with SSL. The honest 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.

What is Free HTML Hosting by Static.app?
Free HTML hosting is a web host service where you can host free static websites. Specifically aimed at HTML-based websites, which lack both backend processing and dynamic content rendering, making it perfect for personal portfolios, small business pages, and - quite specifically - landing pages. Such a service is then provided by Static.app with an added focus on simplicity and ease of use.
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 plans?
The free plan 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 plan 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 updating a DNS record 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?
Offered through the free hosting plan, basic customer support is present for Static.app users primarily via the online website’s frequently asked questions and help through email. Although not as responsive as paid plans, it suffices to cover essential support necessary when starting up your website and managing 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?
There is no hassle when upgrading from the free plan to a paid subscription on Static.app. Enhancement features include higher storage, better bandwidth, and added functionalities that are not available to free subscribers. This flexible addition will help scale up your website as it grows.
Can I add more than one website?
Yes. The free plan 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.
