Statichost.eu launches static site hosting on entirely European infrastructure with no AWS or Cloudflare

Statichost.eu is a new static site hosting service founded by Eric Selin in Stockholm that runs every layer of its stack on European-owned infrastructure, explicitly excluding AWS and Cloudflare.

WHY IT MATTERS

For teams with GDPR compliance requirements or data-sovereignty preferences, this offers a static hosting option where the entire stack, not just front-end servers, is European. The service is early-stage, with branch previews not yet available and CDN still in private beta.

THE READ

What the cluster adds up to.

ORIGINAL ANALYSIS

Statichost.eu is a newly launched static site hosting platform that differentiates itself by running on infrastructure that is entirely European-owned and operated. The founder, Eric Selin, frames the service as a response to hosting providers that market themselves as European but run on American cloud platforms like AWS or Cloudflare. The pitch is aimed at web developers who want data sovereignty and GDPR compliance without compromising on standard static-hosting workflows.

The service supports deployment from any git provider using any static site generator, triggered by git pushes or webhooks. It offers custom domains with automatically provisioned SSL certificates, instant rollbacks to previous versions, and a free tier for a first site. These are table-stakes features for modern static hosting, and the material does not claim any novel capability beyond the infrastructure sourcing.

Several features are not yet available. Preview links for branches and pull requests are listed as coming soon, and the world-wide CDN is in private beta. The material does not specify pricing beyond the free tier, uptime guarantees, build-time limits, or bandwidth caps. Without these details, the operational trade-offs against established competitors cannot be assessed from the provided material alone.

Only one feed carried this event, so there is no corroboration from independent sources. The material is almost entirely the product's own marketing copy, which limits what can be verified about the actual infrastructure, performance, or reliability. Engineers evaluating this would need to test the service directly or wait for independent reporting before drawing conclusions about its production readiness.
