Static Hosting

You can serve static websites, single-page apps, and asset files directly from SMLL object storage buckets using custom domains.

Setting up static hosting

1. Create a bucket in your workspace
2. Upload your static files (HTML, CSS, JS, images)
3. Add a custom domain to the bucket (see Bucket Domains)
4. Your site is live at https://your-domain.com

Uploading files

Dashboard file browser

Use the built-in file browser to upload files:

1. Navigate to your bucket
2. Click Upload or drag and drop files
3. Files are available immediately

S3-compatible CLI

Use any S3-compatible tool to sync files:

# Using AWS CLI
aws s3 sync ./build s3://my-bucket/ \
  --endpoint-url https://s3.smll.io

# Using rclone
rclone sync ./build smll:my-bucket/

Single-page applications

For SPAs (React, Vue, Angular), upload your build output to the bucket. Client-side routing works automatically since all paths serve the bucket contents.

Content types

SMLL automatically sets Content-Type headers based on file extensions:

Pricing

Static hosting uses standard object storage pricing:

• Storage: $0.015/GB per month
