Static Web Hosting
Static web hosting is a service that deploys and serves static websites, which consist of pre-built HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and media files without server-side processing. It provides a simple, fast, and cost-effective way to host websites that don't require dynamic content generation or database interactions. These platforms typically include features like global CDN distribution, SSL certificates, and automated deployments from version control systems.
Developers should use static web hosting for projects like blogs, documentation sites, portfolios, marketing pages, or single-page applications where content is fixed or updated infrequently. It offers high performance, scalability, and security with minimal maintenance, making it ideal for fast-loading sites that handle high traffic without server management overhead. This approach is particularly useful in modern web development workflows that leverage static site generators or frontend frameworks.
