Hosting
Static websites
A static site is just files — HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images — served exactly as stored, with no server-side code.
Object storage hosting
Upload the files to a bucket, make them publicly readable and enable static website hosting. The provider handles capacity automatically.
Edge network hosting
Platforms such as Cloudflare Pages copy the files to data centres worldwide, so each visitor is served from a nearby location with HTTPS included.
Choosing
| Object storage | Edge network | |
|---|---|---|
| Global caching | Add a CDN | Built in |
| HTTPS | Via CDN | Built in |
| Deploy | Upload files | Upload or Git |
