Static Hosting for Agencies

Launch Fast Client Sites With Less Maintenance After Launch

Press Mage Static Site Hosting gives agencies a dependable home for brochure sites, campaign pages, documentation, landing pages, and static buildsβ€”without the plugin updates, database maintenance, and server overhead of a traditional CMS.

  • Global edge delivery
  • Custom domains and SSL
  • No plugin or database maintenance
  • Start small and add resources as needed

Not Every Client Needs a Full WordPress Stack

A brochure site, campaign page, event site, microsite, or documentation portal may not require a dynamic CMS. Static hosting can reduce the maintenance burden while giving the agency a fast, secure, and predictable delivery model.

Lower Maintenance Load

No database, server-side plugin stack, or routine CMS patching for a properly built static site.

Strong Performance Baseline

Static assets can be delivered efficiently from edge locations close to the visitor.

Better Fit for Simple Sites

Avoid overengineering straightforward client projects that rarely need content changes.

Clear Recurring Service Potential

Package hosting with edits, form processing, analytics, reporting, SEO reviews, and campaign support.

Where Static Hosting Fits in an Agency Portfolio

Business brochure websites
Landing pages
Campaign microsites
Event and promotional pages
Documentation sites
Portfolio sites
Headless CMS front ends
Static exports from frameworks
Temporary campaign environments
Archived or low-change websites

Use the Workflow That Fits the Project

ZIP Upload

Build the site however you like, zip the output, and publish a new release from the control panel. No repository required.

GitHub or Bitbucket Push

Connect a repository and a push to your branch publishes a new release automatically.

Any Static Output

Plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript β€” including static exports from Hugo, Jekyll, Next.js, and similar frameworks.

Static Does Not Mean β€œNo Ongoing Value”

The infrastructure may be low maintenance, but the client's digital presence still needs ownership. Agencies can provide a defined monthly service around content, forms, analytics, SEO, campaigns, and business changes.

Example service components

  • Managed static hosting
  • Domain and SSL oversight
  • Content-change allowance
  • Form processing
  • Traffic analytics
  • SEO review
  • Accessibility checks
  • Broken-link review
  • Campaign landing-page updates
  • Uptime monitoring
  • Monthly or quarterly reporting
  • Priority support
The value is not charging a client for server maintenance that does not exist. The value is providing dependable ownership of the website and the business outcomes around it.

Static Hosting Questions

A static website is built from pre-generated HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and asset files served directly to visitors β€” there is no database or server-side CMS running per request. Content changes are made by publishing a new version of the files.
Yes. Each static site can use its own custom domain.
Yes. SSL certificates are provisioned and renewed for your static site domains as part of the platform.
Upload a ZIP of your built site, or connect a GitHub or Bitbucket repository so a push to your branch publishes a new release. Both paths are managed from the Press Mage control panel.
Static pages cannot process form submissions themselves, but you can pair a static site with a hosted form service β€” for example Mage Intake β€” so submissions arrive in a structured workflow instead of an inbox.
Yes. Mage Stats provides privacy-focused traffic analytics you can add to static sites and include in client reporting.
Sites that no longer need a CMS β€” archives, brochure sites, finished campaigns β€” can be exported to static files and hosted on static plans. The conversion work itself is a project your agency scopes; talk to sales if you want help evaluating a specific site.
Yes. Each client site runs on its own plan under your agency account, with its own domain, releases, and service record.
