Statichost.eu Launches Fully European Static Site Hosting Service

2 min read

Statichost.eu has unveiled a static website hosting service that is fully based on European infrastructure and operated by a European company. Unlike many hosting providers that claim European presence but rely on American cloud services, statichost.eu ensures that every part of its stack—from deployment to content delivery network (CDN)—is hosted within Europe. The platform supports direct deployment from git repositories and works with any static site generator. Users can trigger site rebuilds via webhooks after updates to their git repositories or content management systems. The service also offers custom domain support with free SSL certificates. Additional features include instant rollback capabilities and an upcoming preview link function for branches and pull requests, enabling developers to review changes before going live. Statichost.eu is currently running a private beta of its worldwide CDN, designed to maintain user privacy and comply with GDPR while delivering content from servers close to end users. The service is trusted by a range of clients, including a design studio working with global brands like Braun and Oral-B, a technology research hub focused on corporate accountability, and a widely used testing framework. Founder Eric Selin, based in Stockholm, emphasizes the importance of infrastructure ownership and data sovereignty. He developed statichost.eu to provide a European alternative free from reliance on major American cloud providers such as AWS and Cloudflare. This approach aims to address concerns about data privacy and the complexity of internet infrastructure. Statichost.eu supports all git providers and static site generators, making it a flexible option for developers seeking a privacy-conscious, European-based static hosting solution.
