Europe enters the static file hosting space.

Meanwhile, Europe's most promising aerospace company just left for USA.

Nope, Airbus are still safely headquartered in Netherlands.

"Just" and "Published April 30, 2025" seem a bit contradictory.

I'm using this for my mother's website (https://www.touchofglass.eu/), and my only complaint is that it assumes you version a website in a Git repository. You can work around it by uploading a tarball or something like that, but it is far less convenient than using sftp/rsync. But considering that we are far into the free 10GB a month and I only have to update it very infrequently, it seemed like the best solution.

Seriously, no WebDAV?

According to the docs no, but I did find out that they now provide a script that automates the process https://www.statichost.eu/docs/direct-upload/.

WebDAV used to be a tire fire, is it not anymore? I'd probably prefer SFTP, it just works

I’m a happy OVH user, their free static hosting (part of their paid domain service) is enough for my needs. I’ve been using that platform for more than 10 years now. At the same time I like that there are more alternatives.

My issue with OVH is the support is God awful and half French. Someone made a complaint about my server and their default stance was to nuke me from orbit and ask questions later.

Oh and their "data centers" are just shipping containers that are prone to the occasional fire.

Much happier with Hetzner, even though it's more expensive.

I've had a few complaints, few auto-detections, managed to clear it all up thankfully.

However their IPv6 /128 allocation is horrendous. But I don't know anyone who does it all actually better.

Looked cool at first, but that FreeSewing logo scared me away.

That’s a shame, because FreeSewing is a fascinating and pretty awesome project! If you know someone in to the textile crafts, you may find this changes their world if they don’t already know of it.

Doesn’t say anything about how much of storage is offered for any plan.

Does it automatically generate a TLS certificate? I didn't find documentation about that, just that you can setup your own domain.

Seems really cool!

How does it compare to neocities.org, which is sadly not EU?

Swedish company, nice.

But "European values" seems to be a non-statement.

Doesn't European also possibly mean St. Petersburg, Malta, Cyprus, Istanbul, Greenland, or Switzerland? I.e. being not the same as EU hosting?

It’s obvious and implied that “European” here means “EU”, especially when talking about values.

Low effort comment.

The 9€/mo price point seems weird, considering its "just" static hosting and i can get a decently sized VPS for that money (yes, also from a EU host).
reply

You can also get a fully-featured shared web hosting package plus email for that price. 9€/mo is wack.

Since you asked...

I wonder if they have some form of clanker protection. I'd hate to get hit by the filthy buggers and end up with a huge bill.

OT: is Cloudflare not offering Pages anymore?

I logged into CF dashboard the other day and was super confused because it appears to be replaced by Workers.

reply

The legacy option still exists but they don’t make it obvious.

Computer > Workers & Pages > Create Application > under “Make something new” container there’s a link “Continue to Pages”

It's under Compute → Workers & Pages because Cloudflare has a confusing UI.

No /cgi-bin/ directory? I am disappointed. ;-) Greetz to Sweden!

Er, what? A static site has no build on server.

A static site could be built from source on the server

Many static sites are made using a static site generator, which turns input files into a static site in a build phase.
