Deploying a static HTML/CSS/JS site

Static sites are the simplest to deploy — just upload your files.

1. Create your site

1. Dashboard → Add Site → Select Static HTML
2. Enter your domain → Create

2. Upload your files

Upload via SFTP to: /home/[siteuser]/htdocs/[domain]/

Make sure you have an index.html in the root.

What you get

• Nginx with optimized static file serving
• Gzip compression for text assets
• Long cache headers for CSS/JS/images
• HTTP/2 enabled
• Free SSL via Let's Encrypt

Perfect for

• Portfolio sites
• Landing pages
• Documentation sites (Hugo, Jekyll, Eleventy, Astro)
• React/Vue/Svelte SPAs (built output)

Build tool workflow

If using a static site generator (Hugo, Astro, etc.):

1. Build locally (e.g. hugo build, npm run build)
2. Upload the output folder contents (usually dist/ or public/) to your site root
