I’m a happy OVH user, their free static hosting (part of their paid domain service) is enough for my needs. I’ve been using that platform for more than 10 years now. At the same time I like that there are more alternatives.
I'm using this for my mother's website (https://www.touchofglass.eu/), and my only complaint is that it assumes you version a website in a Git repository. You can work around it by uploading a tarball or something like that, but it is far less convenient than using sftp/rsync. But considering that we are far into the free 10GB a month and I only have to update it very infrequently, it seemed like the best solution.
That’s a shame, because FreeSewing is a fascinating and pretty awesome project! If you know someone in to the textile crafts, you may find this changes their world if they don’t already know of it.
Europe enters the static file hosting space.
Meanwhile, Europe's most promising aerospace company just left for USA.

Nope, Airbus are still safely headquartered in Netherlands.

Swedish company, nice.
But "European values" seems to be a non-statement.
Doesn't European also possibly mean St. Petersburg, Malta, Cyprus, Istanbul, Greenland, or Switzerland? I.e. being not the same as EU hosting?

Wow, your mom is so cool!
Seriously, no WebDAV?
According to the docs no, but I did find out that they now provide a script that automates the process https://www.statichost.eu/docs/direct-upload/.
hold on there, nobody is mentioning AI here? :-D
Looked cool at first, but that FreeSewing logo scared me away.

Does it automatically generate a TLS certificate? I didn't find documentation about that, just that you can setup your own domain.
Seems really cool!
How does it compare to neocities.org, which is sadly not EU?
OT: is Cloudflare not offering Pages anymore?
I logged into CF dashboard the other day and was super confused because it appears to be replaced by Workers.
From April 8, 2025:
https://blog.cloudflare.com/full-stack-development-on-cloudf...
It's under Compute → Workers & Pages because Cloudflare has a confusing UI.
The 9€/mo price point seems weird, considering its "just" static hosting and i can get a decently sized VPS for that money (yes, also from a EU host).
You can also get a fully-featured shared web hosting package plus email for that price. 9€/mo is wack.
Obligatory as always: https://european-alternatives.eu/categories
No /cgi-bin/ directory? I am disappointed. ;-) Greetz to Sweden!

Er, what? A static site has no build on server.
A static site could be built from source on the server
Many static sites are made using a static site generator, which turns input files into a static site in a build phase.
