Features

Automatic HTTPS
Every site gets a free SSL certificate, auto-renewed, on your subdomain or custom domain.

Your built files are served directly - no container to wake up, ever.

Compare
Static hosts got great at serving assets, then left SSR, APIs and databases to other products. DockHosting builds your React app from the repo, serves the output with automatic HTTPS, and attaches a managed database or a backend project in the same workspace.
| Feature | DockHosting | static web hosting |
|---|---|---|
| First deploy | Run your build, serve the output - git pushes deploy | Upload a pre-built dist folder |
| Backend & SSR | Add a Node/Python/Go project or a managed database in the same workspace | Static files only - bring another product |
| HTTPS | Automatic on your subdomain and custom domains | Free on their domain, manual (or paid) on yours |
| Cold starts | None - files are served directly | None on static assets too |
| Deploys | Git push → live in seconds | Re-upload or reconnect their CLI |
| Pricing | Flat $0 / $4 / $9 / $19 | Free tier with a metered paid tier above it |
The bottom lineIf your React app is anything beyond static marketing pages, having the API and database on the same platform is why the flat-price DockHosting beats a static-only host plus three other subscriptions.
Everything you need to know before you deploy your first React app.
Yes - deploy your production build as a static site; the output directory is served as-is.
