Static Site Hosting vs Cloud Hosting
Developers should use Static Site Hosting for projects where content changes infrequently and performance is critical, as it reduces server load and improves page load times through global CDN distribution meets developers should learn and use cloud hosting for building scalable, resilient applications that can handle variable workloads, such as web apps, mobile backends, or data processing pipelines. Here's our take.

- +Related to: jamstack, content-delivery-network
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Cloud Hosting
Developers should learn and use cloud hosting for building scalable, resilient applications that can handle variable workloads, such as web apps, mobile backends, or data processing pipelines
Pros
- +It is essential for modern DevOps practices, enabling rapid deployment, automated scaling, and global accessibility, which reduces infrastructure management overhead and improves time-to-market
- +Related to: aws, azure
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Static Site Hosting if: You want it's particularly valuable for jamstack applications, marketing sites, or documentation built with static site generators like hugo or jekyll, offering cost-effectiveness and enhanced security by minimizing attack surfaces compared to traditional hosting and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Cloud Hosting if: You prioritize it is essential for modern devops practices, enabling rapid deployment, automated scaling, and global accessibility, which reduces infrastructure management overhead and improves time-to-market over what Static Site Hosting offers.
