Host a Static Website
This lesson is part of How To · All levels
Summary
Static website hosting means placing a site file on a server that is publicly accessible. You can use a free service like GitHub Pages or a paid hosting provider, and then upload the file through Git, control panel, or drag and drop. Once online, make sure the links use a relative path, the HTTPS certificate is active, and the domain leads to the correct server.
Key points
- Static sites only need storage space and file servers.
- GitHub Pages, Netlify, and Vercel provide free static hosting
- Use a relative path to keep the link working after uploading
- Enable HTTPS to keep visitors' data and trust alive
- Custom domains are connected via DNS settings
