deploybase vs StaticHost
Two European static hosts. Both keep your data in the EU, so residency is not the question here: pricing and features are. StaticHost does some things we do not; here is which.
Choose deploybase if you
- want the whole team on one price, not €19 a seat after five
- want hard limits instead of overage charges
- want a preview of every branch, made on push
- need forms, single sign-on or functions next to the site
Choose StaticHost if you
- want unlimited sites for €9 a month
- need redirects and proxy rewrites applied today
- want to build with a Docker image you choose
- host code on SourceHut or Azure DevOps

For one person it flips: StaticHost Starter is €9 for unlimited sites and 5,000 build minutes, where our €9 Starter has 10 sites and 1,000. StaticHost's pricing page does not say whether VAT is included; ours is.

Your StaticHost site, file by file.
Both hosts read _headers and _redirects, so most of a site moves as it is. The build image, regex headers and most redirects do not, yet.
# statichost.yml image: node:20 command: npm ci && npm run build public: dist
Build command npm run build and output directory dist in project settings. We install dependencies and pick the build image from your framework.You cannot choose your own build image.
# _headers
*
X-Frame-Options: DENY
~/\.([a-f0-9]{8})\.js$/
Cache-Control: public, immutable The same _headers file works for plain and wildcard paths, applied at the edge.Regex paths (~/…/) are not supported; one * per path.
# _redirects /* /index.html 200
Detected as the single-page app fallback, on its own.
# _redirects /old/post.html /posts/old/ 301
Read and stored with the deployment.Not yet applied at the edge.
# Password protection (dashboard)
A password on a share link, for any deployment. The production site itself stays public.No password on the production site.
./shcli your-site ./public
deploybase deploy ./public, or drag the folder onto the dashboard. Uploads use no build minutes.
Questions from StaticHost users.
Something else? Write to support@deploybase.eu. A person answers.
Aren't both of you European?
Yes. Both keep your data in the EU, and neither runs on a US cloud. Residency is not the difference here. Pricing is (seats and overage charges against one flat price), and so are the features: previews, forms, single sign-on and functions here; redirects, any build image and unlimited sites there.
How does pricing differ?
StaticHost Professional is €49 with five seats, then €19 a seat, and past the included amounts it charges €1 per 10 GB of traffic and €1 per 100 build minutes. deploybase has four flat plans, VAT included, unlimited members on Pro and Scale, and hard limits instead of an overage bill.
Every plan limitDoes StaticHost have branch previews?
Not yet. Its documentation lists automatic preview links as on the roadmap and suggests a separate site per branch meanwhile. Here every branch gets its own preview URL when you push.
Can I keep my _headers and _redirects files?
_headers works as it is for plain and wildcard paths; regex paths do not. From _redirects, the single-page app catch-all is applied, and every other rule is stored but not yet applied at the edge. StaticHost applies them all today.
Which git providers does each support?
StaticHost: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Forgejo (Codeberg) and SourceHut. deploybase: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Codeberg. Both also take a direct upload.
Can I password-protect a site?
On StaticHost, yes: the whole site, with HTTP basic auth, on plans that include it. On deploybase, a password goes on a share link to a single deployment, on every plan. The production site itself cannot be password-protected yet.
Compare them on one site.
Free plan, no card. Both of us are in the EU; pick on the rest.
