Static hosting is intended for sites delivered as HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other public assets without a server-side application or database.
What to do
- Use it for a brochure site, portfolio, documentation site or exported static build that fits the plan limits.
- Upload the generated public output, not an entire development repository with environment files or private source credentials.
- A browser-only form needs a separately configured service or backend to process submissions. Hiding an API key in JavaScript does not protect it.
- Ask JIJ about Starter, Business or a custom environment if you need WordPress, a database, server-side sessions or an application runtime.
Good to know
Static hosting does not include application development, external form subscriptions or unlimited storage.
