Features
Instant builds
We detect a build script (Vite, webpack, or plain files) and deploy the output directory.
Git Push Deploy
Push to your repo and your site updates in seconds - no build step required for plain HTML.
Automatic HTTPS
Every site gets a free SSL certificate, auto-renewed, on your subdomain or custom domain.
Zero cold starts
Static files are served directly - no container to wake up, ever.

Compare
A static site is just files, yet a $10 shared host still makes it painful - FTP uploads, no git, sitemaps by hand. DockHosting builds your site from the repo and serves it over auto-renewing HTTPS with a git pushes deploy and no cold starts.
| Feature | DockHosting | traditional shared hosting |
|---|---|---|
| First deploy | Push to Git or run dock deploy - we build and publish | FTP the files into a public_html folder |
| Build step | Package.json build script (Vite, React, Vue) detected and run | You build locally and upload the output |
| HTTPS | Automatic, on your subdomain and custom domains | Manual certificate setup or a paid add-on |
| Cold starts | None - files are served directly | Shared boxes that breathe with neighbours |
| Deploys | Git push → live in seconds | Re-upload every changed file |
| Pricing | Flat $0 / $4 / $9 / $19 | Tiered by bandwidth/visitors you must watch |
The bottom lineIf your site is built by anything (even plain HTML), git-based deploys and automatic HTTPS make DockHosting the lower-friction home for it.
Everything you need to know before you deploy your first Static app.
No - plain HTML/CSS/JS deploys as-is. If a build script is present, we run it and serve the output directory.
