About the startup
Hostsmith publishes static sites and individual files - HTML folders, PDFs, images, or video - to a public HTTPS URL in seconds. EU data residency is offered as a paid option for agencies and consultancies whose clients require hosting to remain in the EU; EU-hosted sites are served from Germany. The free tier requires an account but no credit card. Paid tiers add custom domains, password-protected pages, and the EU residency option. Hostsmith does not include a CMS, build pipeline, Git integration, or plugin marketplace - it is designed to take an existing file or folder live, not to author content. Programmatic deployments are supported through a REST API and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI clients like Claude and Cursor. The product is used by agencies and freelancers under data-residency requirements, designers and small studios sharing prototypes and client deliverables, consultants and educators selling or distributing PDFs and course materials with controlled access, and developers needing a low-friction publish target for static output and one-off landing pages.
