Use Static.app to save zipped content (unarchive and host files like images, videos, docs, etc.)
All of these give you a link after you upload a ZIP, but they are built for different things. Filebin and WeTransfer are temporary file drops, while Tiiny Host and Static.app actually unzip your archive and host it as a live website. Here is a fair comparison, including where the others win.
| Static.app | Tiiny Host | Filebin | WeTransfer | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free to upload and share | Yes, with a free account | Yes, with a free account | Yes, no account at all | Yes, account required since 2024 |
| Links stay live (no expiry) | Permanent | Stays with a monthly login | Auto-deletes in about 6 days | Free links expire after 3 days |
| Unzips and hosts as a live website | Yes | Yes | No, download only | No, download only |
| Ads or forced branding (free) | None | Tiiny banner on free | None | Ads on the pages |
| Host on your own custom domain | Yes, with free SSL (paid plans) | Solo plan and up | No | No |
| Max upload size (free) | 50 MB, up to 1 GB on paid plans | 3 MB total per project | No stated per-file limit | 3 GB per transfer |
| Best for | Unzipping an archive into a live website on your own domain | Quick ZIP or website hosting on a subdomain | Throwaway anonymous file drops | Sending large files that expire |
Competitor details from each service's official pages, verified July 2026. Filebin auto-deletes files after about six days and WeTransfer free links expire after three days; both give a download or bin page rather than hosting your archive as a website.
How do I host a zip file online?
To host a zip file on Static.app, first log in to your account. Navigate to the dashboard and select the option to upload a file. Choose your zip file and upload it. Once the upload is complete, the platform will provide a unique URL for your hosted zip file, which you can share or embed as needed.
How do I host a website from a zip file?
Firstly, compress all the files on your website, which usually are in the order of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and so on. Log in to Static.app and click anywhere where the system requires the uploading of your files in a zip folder. The system will deploy your website through to the last process. Of course, you will get a URL to the website, and this can be branded.
How can I share a zip file?
After uploading your zip file to Static.app, you can share it by using the unique URL provided by the platform. You can distribute this URL via email, social media, or embed it on another website or platform.
Can I update an existing zip file on Static.app, and how?
Yes. From your Static.app dashboard you can replace the files or upload a new version, and your website keeps the same URL, so any link or QR code you already shared keeps working.
How does Static.app ensure the security of my hosted zip files?
Every hosted website is served over HTTPS with a free SSL certificate, so connections are encrypted. You can also add password protection to a single page or the whole website, and you stay in control to update or delete your files at any time.
Does Static.app unzip my file and host it as a website?
Yes. When you upload a ZIP of a static website, Static.app unpacks it and serves the contents as a live website at your URL, rather than only offering the archive as a download. That is the main difference from file-transfer tools like WeTransfer and Filebin.
Do my hosted files expire?
No. Your link is permanent and stays live until you delete it. Static.app does not auto-delete your files after a few days the way temporary file-transfer services do.
Upload a .zip and Static.app unpacks it into a live website.
