Static Site Hosting
Static Site Hosting is a web hosting service that serves pre-built, static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images) directly to users without server-side processing. It is optimized for speed, security, and scalability by leveraging content delivery networks (CDNs) and serverless architectures. This approach is ideal for websites with fixed content that doesn't require dynamic server interactions, such as blogs, portfolios, or documentation sites.
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. 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.
