Frontend & static site hosting

Where to host the marketing site, the docs site, the SPA. Static-site CDNs are essentially free at solo-dev scale.

Cloudflare PagesFREE TIER

free unlimited bandwidth + 500 builds/mo
The most generous free tier in the category by a wide margin. Unlimited bandwidth on the free plan is genuinely unlimited. Default pick if you don't have a strong preference.

VercelFREE TIER

free Hobby (non-commercial), Pro $20/mo
Best Next.js DX in the world (they make Next.js). The 'non-commercial' restriction on the free plan is a real gotcha — once you start charging users, you legally need Pro. Check the small print.

NetlifyFREE TIER

free Starter, Pro $19/mo
The original 'JAMstack' host. Slightly less polished than Vercel for Next.js, slightly more polished for everything else. Generous free tier, no hidden commercial-use clause.

GitHub PagesFREE TIER

free with any GitHub repo
The boring stack pick. Only static files, only GitHub-hosted, no build step beyond Jekyll. Limited but rock-solid for docs sites and simple landing pages.

RenderFREE TIER

free static sites + 750h/mo of free web service compute
Heroku-style PaaS that also hosts static sites. Use if you need both a web app and a static site managed in one place.
