How to set up Static Hosting

If you need to host static content such as HTML, CSS, JS, etc; our blazing-fast Static Hosting service is here for you. Static Hosting is great for simple websites, content that changes infrequently, or custom-built HTML sites. Here's how to purchase and upload a static site!

1
Log in. You should arrive at the Domain Management screen. If you're already logged in, click on ACCOUNT in the top-right corner and select Domain Management.

2
Locate the domain you're adding Static Hosting to. To the right of that domain name, click on the house icon under the "Website" column.

⚠️️  Note

If you already have a different Porkbun hosting plan applied to your domain, the house icon will be replaced by a different icon. You'll need to cancel your existing hosting plan before you can set up Static Hosting.

3
On the next screen, click "Select A Plan" under "Static Hosting."

4
On the next screen, choose how you would like to be billed. You'll save some money if you choose annual billing. Regardless of your plan, clicking the "Start Trial" link will automatically begin a 15-day free trial.

5
Once the Static Hosting account is created in our system, you'll be taken to a page with the plan information and settings for your domain. Here you can use our simple editor to upload your site's files directly to our server. You also have the option to upload your site files via FTP, or even connect your domain to a GitHub repository.

⚠️️ Please Note:

The file size upload limit for our static hosting is limited to 40MB.

That's it! Your Static Hosting account is now active. If you have any questions about how the Static Hosting plan works, feel free to contact us via the Help bubble or email support@porkbun.com.
