What is static hosting?

Static hosting serves pre-built files — HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images — directly to visitors without any server-side processing. There is no database, no backend runtime, and no build step on the server. The result is fast, secure, and simple.

YWT's static hosting lets you create and deploy lightweight websites right from your browser. Every site gets a default *.ywt.app hostname, and paid hosting plans can connect custom domains once DNS ownership is verified.

What you get

• Built-in Monaco editor — The same editor that powers VS Code, running in your browser. Write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with syntax highlighting, autocompletion, and workspace previews.
• Starter templates — Pick from a set of ready-made templates (landing pages, portfolios, simple business sites) and customize them to your needs.
• Explicit publishing — Edit files in the workspace, preview them, then publish when you are ready to update the live site.
• Default hostname — Every site has a YWT-managed subdomain.ywt.app hostname.
• Custom domains — Connect domains you own to your hosted site with automatic HTTPS.
• Preview links — Share specific deployment versions without changing the live site.
• Analytics — Review visitors, page views, bandwidth, referrers, countries, devices, and browsers for hosted sites.

Who is it for?

YWT static hosting is a good fit for:

• Personal sites and portfolios — Show off your work with a clean, fast website.
• Landing pages — A single-page site for your product, event, or business.
• Small business sites — An online presence with your own Swiss domain.
• Hobby projects — Experiment with HTML and CSS without setting up a development environment.

If you need a database, server-side code (PHP, Node.js, Python), or a CMS like WordPress, you will need a different hosting provider. You can still register your domain with YWT and point it to any external host using DNS.
