Static Sites

Deploy HTML, CSS, and JavaScript sites without Git or build steps. Upload via the dashboard or SFTP.

Creating a Static Site

1. Go to your project → Add Service → Upload / Drag & Drop
2. Enter a site name and deployment slug
3. Optionally upload a ZIP file
4. Select a plan
5. Click Create

If you don’t upload a file, a branded placeholder page is deployed automatically. You can upload your files later.

Uploading Files

Via Dashboard (Files Tab)

Navigate to the Files tab to browse and manage your site files. The file browser shows the Nginx document root at /usr/share/nginx/html.

Via SFTP

Connect with any SFTP client:

Setting	Value
Host	your-slug.zevcloud.app
Port	2222 (check your service details)
Username	sftp_yourslug
Password	Shown in service overview
Protocol	SFTP

Upload your files to the root directory. They’ll be served immediately by Nginx.

Via ZIP Upload

Upload a .zip file through the dashboard. It will be extracted and deployed automatically.

Nginx Configuration

Static sites run on Nginx Alpine with:

• Gzip compression enabled
• SPA fallback (try_files $uri /index.html for client-side routing)
• Custom error pages
• Automatic SSL via Let’s Encrypt

Custom Domains

Add custom domains the same way as any other service — via the Domains tab.

SFTP Password Reset

If you need to regenerate your SFTP password:

1. Go to the service Overview tab
2. Click “Regenerate password” under SFTP credentials
3. The new password is emailed to you
