Choose a practical foundation
The right hosting
for your website.
Choose hosting by what the application needs to run. A language alone does not guarantee reliability; plan capacity, updates, backups and monitoring for your project.
Browser filesHTML / CSS / JavaScript
- Useful for
- Simple websites, portfolios and landing pages.
- Hosting fit
- Render Static Site or Cloudflare Pages
- Setup
- No application server needed. Upload the files; for our HTML ZIP, publish the extracted folder.
- Keep in mind
- Contact APIs, accounts and databases require a separate backend.

Official documentation ↗JavaScript frameworkAstro — static output
- Useful for
- Content websites, blogs and business pages with fast static delivery.
- Hosting fit
- Render Static Site or Cloudflare Pages
- Setup
- npm install && npm run build; publish dist.
- Keep in mind

- Our downloads
- Basic and Advanced Pro packages available
Official documentation ↗JavaScript frameworkReact — client-side / Vite
- Useful for
- Interactive browser applications.
- Hosting fit
- Render Static Site or Cloudflare Pages
- Setup
- Build the app and publish its output. Configure SPA route fallback when using client routing.
- Keep in mind

- Our downloads
- Export planned
Official documentation ↗CMS / server languageWordPress / PHP
- Useful for
- Sites managed through a visual CMS, plugins and themes.
- Hosting fit
- A maintained WordPress host with PHP and a database
- Setup
- WordPress recommends PHP 8.3+, MariaDB 10.11+ or MySQL 8.0+, and HTTPS. Check current requirements with your host.
- Keep in mind
- A static site service cannot run WordPress. Native block themes are available as Beta exports; verify activation on a staging site.
- Our downloads
- Basic / Advanced Pro block themes — Beta
Official documentation ↗Hosted platform / theme formatBlogger / XML
- Useful for
- Blogs managed in Blogger.
- Hosting fit
- Blogger
- Setup
- Import a compatible XML theme in Blogger; attach a custom domain if needed.
- Keep in mind
- XML is the theme format, not a general server language. Blogger hosts the blog.
- Our downloads
- Basic / Advanced Pro XML themes — Beta
Official documentation ↗Server language / frameworksPython — Django / Flask
- Useful for
- Database-backed applications and custom APIs.
- Hosting fit
- Render Web Service or another managed Python app host
- Setup
- Deploy a production application server, configure environment variables and attach a suitable database.
- Keep in mind
- Choose a production plan and backup policy for required uptime; a static publish directory does not execute Python.
- Our downloads
- Export planned
Official documentation ↗Server language / frameworkJava — Spring Boot
- Useful for
- Server applications, integrations and APIs.
- Hosting fit
- Render Docker Web Service or another JVM/container host
- Setup
- Build the application and container image; bind the server to the platform port. Size memory for the JVM.
- Keep in mind
- Render uses Docker for Java rather than a native Java runtime. Database and persistent storage need separate configuration.
- Our downloads
- Export planned
Official documentation ↗Server runtime / frameworkNode.js / Next.js server
- Useful for
- Server rendering, protected APIs and application logic.
- Hosting fit
- Render Web Service or a compatible server deployment platform
- Setup
- Configure the build/start commands, production runtime, secrets and database. Static exports can use a static host.
- Keep in mind
- Do not expose secret keys in frontend code. Static exports and server applications have different hosting needs.
- Our downloads
- Export planned
Official documentation ↗ A simple recommendation
For the HTML and static Astro starters currently available here, Render Static Sites or Cloudflare Pages fit the deployment model. For WordPress choose a maintained PHP/database host. Blogger hosts its own themes. Python, Java and Node server applications need an application runtime and any supporting database.
