# Static sites, served from the edge

> Host static sites, docs and single-page apps. Deploy on every push, with TLS, caching and redirects built in. CodeHerder ships the next change.

Source: https://customhosted.com/static/

№ 01 Static hosting

Marketing sites, docs, and SPAs. Deploy on every push, and the edge network serves every visitor. TLS is on by default. You get real control over 404 pages, redirects, and security headers.

From $5/mo [See the rate card →](https://customhosted.com/pricing)

№ 02 What it's for

## Built for what ships from a repo

If it builds to [static files](https://customhosted.com/files), it belongs here, not on a server you have to patch. Need a contact form too? A static plan takes one, with a small endpoint briefed in behind it. See [Forms](https://customhosted.com/forms).

- Marketing sites — Landing pages and brochure sites that need to load instantly, everywhere, for every visitor.
- Documentation — Versioned docs sites, changelogs, and knowledge bases served straight from your repo.
- SPAs & web apps — Client-rendered apps with an API elsewhere. The front end ships from the edge network.
- Landing pages — Campaign and launch pages that spike in traffic and need capacity on day one, not day two.

№ 03 Deploys

## How deploys work

Push to main, it's live in minutes. No pipeline to maintain, no lock-in if you leave.

1. 1 — Connect your repo — Point us at the repository. There is no pipeline to hand-wire, and no keys to babysit.
2. 2 — Push to main — Every push builds and ships automatically, live at the edge in minutes.
3. 3 — Or upload a build — No repository? Drop a build directory instead. It deploys the same way.
4. 4 — Preview, then roll back — Every deploy is a preview first. Promote it, or roll back to the build before it — that older build is already made and kept on hand.

What happens between "push" and "live", hop by hop, and what a failed build does instead of breaking anything: see [Deploys](https://customhosted.com/deploys).

№ 04 Performance

## Performance & the edge

A global edge network handles the caching and delivery. See the measured page weight and request counts this produces at [Performance](https://customhosted.com/performance).

- Global edge network — Your site is cached at points of presence around the world. A visitor hits a nearby server, not one on the other side of the planet. The edge network answers the crowd. Static Pro and its siblings have no server to queue behind — the only real limit is transfer, and transfer is priced flat.
- TLS everywhere — Certificates are issued and renewed automatically, well ahead of expiry. Every hop is encrypted, with no plaintext step in between.
- Caching that just works — Assets are cached at the edge and invalidated on every deploy, so visitors always see the version you just shipped.
- Real control — Real 404 pages, redirect rules, and security headers, set by you, not a generic host default.

The redirect rules, the cache classes, and the exact headers you get are all on [Delivery](https://customhosted.com/delivery).

№ 05 Included

## What's included

№ 06 After launch

## The next change is a sentence, not a project

A static site is not a dead end. When the page needs to change, you say what to change, and [The Loop](https://customhosted.com/loop) carries it the rest of the way. CustomLabs briefs it. A CodeHerder agent opens the pull request. See [Brief a change](https://customhosted.com/brief) for how to write a good one, and [Content](https://customhosted.com/content) for the full path a word takes to go live.

1. 1 — You notice it You — A page needs new words, a price changed, or a section is missing. Nothing here watches for this. A person reads the live site and sees it.
2. 2 — You describe it You — Say what the page should say instead, in plain language. No ticket template, and no technical wording needed.
3. 3 — Briefed as a change CustomLabs — Written up the same way any other change request is. The iteration add-on is what covers it.
4. 4 — An agent opens the pull request CodeHerder — The change lands as a real pull request against the repository, with the test suite run against it.
5. 5 — A human reviews and merges CustomLabs — Someone reads the diff before it goes anywhere near production — nothing here is auto-applied blind.
6. 6 — It ships through the same pipeline CustomHosted — The same pipeline that deploys everything else on your stack ships this too — no separate process to babysit.
7. 7 — You're told it's done CustomHosted — A note confirming what changed and that it merged, in the same shape as every other note on this site.

- **Downtime per change**: None — there is no running process to restart.

The CodeHerder iteration add-on covers each change, at $25/mo. This site is a static build on the same shape, shipped the same way. It has shipped 132 changes since 2026-07-07. See [Built in the open](https://customhosted.com/built-in-the-open) for the real ledger.
