Where to host your static site
Eight options for putting a static site on a domain - traditional hosts and AI builders, compared on price, free tiers, and what each is built for.
When Parkstatic is the right pick
The AI builders on this page charge $240–$480 a year for a custom domain with no badge and GitHub deploys — and they still meter your usage with credits. Parkstatic gives you all of that for a flat $29.99 a year, with no credit limits, because it deploys to WordPress hosting you already pay for.
Custom domain
On your own WordPress domain, not a subdomain.
No vendor badge
No "Made with" tag on your site, at any tier.
GitHub deploys
Push to main, your site rebuilds and goes live.
No credit limits
Flat yearly fee. No credits, no usage metering, no overages.
What does it cost for a real site?
Cost for a site on your own domain with no vendor badge. Prices from each vendor's pricing page, checked July 2026.
| Option | Yearly cost | Custom domain | No vendor badge | GitHub deploys | No usage limits | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parkstatic | $29.99 / yr | You already have WordPress hosting and want one more site on it for a flat yearly fee, with no badges, no credits, and no monthly subscription. | ||||
| Netlify | $0 – $240+ | Teams that need edge functions, form handling, and preview deploys on a dedicated Jamstack platform. Free tier has custom domain but 300 credit cap. | ||||
| Vercel | $0 – $240+ | Next.js apps that need serverless functions, ISR, or edge middleware. Hobby tier is non-commercial only; Pro is $20/seat/mo. | ||||
| Cloudflare Pages | $0 – $60 | The cheapest standalone static host if you don't need the site on your WordPress domain. Free tier has unlimited bandwidth but build caps. | ||||
| Lovable | $300 / yr | Paid plan | Paid plan | Paid plan | Staying inside Lovable with zero setup. Custom domain, badge removal, and GitHub all need Pro ($25/mo); credits still apply on top. | |
| Replit | $240 / yr | Paid plan | Paid plan | Building and deploying entirely inside Replit. Free Starter has a Replit badge; Core ($20/mo) removes it. Deploys run from Replit's own environment, not a GitHub Action. | ||
| Base44 | $480 / yr | Paid plan | Paid plan | Paid plan | Vibe-coding full apps inside Base44 with backend and database. Custom domain and GitHub export need Builder ($40/mo); credits still apply. | |
| Macaly | $300 / yr | Paid plan | Paid plan | Paid plan | AI-built landing pages with hosting bundled in. Custom domain, badge removal, and GitHub all need Pro ($25/mo); a $5/mo hosting plan keeps a site live without AI credits. |

Common questions
What is the cheapest Netlify or Vercel alternative for a static site?
If you already pay for WordPress hosting, Parkstatic is the cheapest route because it reuses hosting you're already buying: $29.99 per year, or $89.99 once, for a single site. If you don't have WordPress hosting, Cloudflare Pages' free tier is the cheapest capable option, though it means running a second platform alongside whatever else you host.
Is Vercel Pro a fair comparison to Parkstatic?
Not directly, and it's worth being clear about that. Vercel Pro is a per-seat, usage-based platform for full applications with serverless functions and edge middleware. Parkstatic is a flat-priced plugin that deploys a pre-rendered static build to hosting you already own. They overlap only for people whose actual need is 'put this static site on a domain' - which is a large share of Vercel and Netlify users, but not all of them.
Can I move an existing Netlify or Vercel site to WordPress hosting?
Yes, provided it builds to static files. Point the Parkstatic GitHub Action at the same repository you already deploy from, keep your existing build command, and the pre-rendered output is published to your WordPress domain instead. You do not need to change your framework or rewrite your site.
Can I host a Lovable, Replit, Base44, or Macaly site on WordPress instead?
Yes, if the project builds to static files. Export or sync the source to GitHub, then use Parkstatic to build and deploy it to WordPress hosting you already pay for. You keep editing in the AI builder; Parkstatic handles the deploy. Full-stack apps that need a running backend server are not a fit.
Does hosting on WordPress make my site slower?
No. Parkstatic serves pre-rendered HTML files rather than rendering pages through the WordPress PHP and database stack on each request, so there is no per-page database query. Real-world speed then depends on your hosting provider and whether you put a CDN in front of it, exactly as it would on any other host.
Already paying for WordPress hosting?
Parkstatic connects your GitHub repo to the WordPress hosting you already pay for, for a flat $29.99 a year. The free plugin is on WordPress.org if you want to try it first.
