Free Web App & Static Site Hosting

Your first week is free

If you are new to Flux Cloud, your first week on Orbit is free on Starter, Standard or Pro, and you choose whether to take it or pay from day one. After the week, Starter keeps an app online for $0.99/month. Every plan runs your app as a real deployment on the decentralized Flux cloud rather than a throttled sandbox, and your first paid period is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What you can host

Orbit deploys straight from your repository and detects the framework automatically with Nixpacks, so you are not limited to static files. Every plan can host real applications:

• Static sites: React, Vue, Svelte, Vite, Astro, or plain HTML/CSS/JS built to a static output.
• Full-stack and backend apps: Node, Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI), Go, Ruby, Erlang, Elixir, Dart and more, running as real containers, not just static files.
• Any Git provider: deploy from GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket with no Dockerfile required.

Because every deployment is a genuine container rather than a function or a static bucket, long-running backends and server-side frameworks that other free tiers handle poorly work here too.

How hosting gets this cheap: the decentralized model

Traditional hosts pay for centralized data centers and recoup it with metered bandwidth. Orbit runs on the Flux network, thousands of independent nodes operated by many people worldwide, so your app is packaged into a container and scheduled onto that shared, permissionless infrastructure. That is what puts a real container with dedicated CPU and RAM at $0.99/month, with no single point of failure and no egress or bandwidth fees. It is the same architecture described in our guide to decentralized (web3) hosting.

What the plans cost

After the free week, every plan comes with reserved CPU and RAM, and they start at just $0.99/mo:

The free week is one per Flux account and needs no card. Every plan comes with dedicated resources and the same no-egress-fees, no-lock-in model: you pay for the compute your app uses, nothing else, and your first paid period is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Which plan to start on

Starter at $0.99/mo is enough to get a side project or a portfolio online. A busy production app benefits from the dedicated CPU and RAM on Standard or Pro, and moving up later is a one-click change with no migration and no redeploy dance: your repo stays the source of truth. If you are weighing Orbit against a centralized platform, see how it compares as a Vercel and Netlify alternative, a Heroku alternative, or a Render alternative.

Deploy your first app in one push

Connect a repository, and Orbit detects your framework, builds a container, and deploys it across the Flux network: you get a live URL in minutes, from $0.99/month. Add a Deploy to Flux button to your README so anyone can launch their own copy in one click. No servers to manage and no lock-in.
