Managed WordPress Hosting company Kinsta announced they are offering free static website hosting that comes with 100 GB bandwidth per month and a 1 GB build size limit.
Kinsta states that the free hosting tier plan is being presented so that users can experience it firsthand.
According to the information provided by Kinsta:
“Static sites are completely free; you can host up to 100 sites for free.
Later we will introduce add-ons and features that might be paid, but as of now, the service is free and this tier will remain free forever.”
Who Can Get Free Kinsta Hosting?
The free hosting is for static sites and can include WordPress sites that are converted to static. Developers and users who leverage node-based static site generators that generate re-rendered content, such as Astro and Gatsby, and other popular solutions can benefit from this offer.
Any individual or business can get a free static site hosting plan from Kinsta. It’s also an opportunity for agencies and developers to test out static site hosting for free to see if it’s a suitable match for their clients.
What Are Static Sites?
Static sites consist of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript but do not use database or server-side processing. Many publishers are converting their WordPress sites to a static version and enjoying faster speeds.
Such sites can handle massive amounts of traffic with minimal stress on the server. Static sites also enjoy better security, as vulnerabilities hidden in plugins or themes no longer exist. Another significant advantage is that static sites require little to no maintenance.
