Static Sites
Deploy HTML, CSS, and JavaScript sites without Git or build steps. Upload via the dashboard or SFTP.
Creating a Static Site
- Go to your project → Add Service → Upload / Drag & Drop
- Enter a site name and deployment slug
- Optionally upload a ZIP file
- Select a plan
- 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.htmlfor 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:
- Go to the service Overview tab
- Click "Regenerate password" under SFTP credentials
- The new password is emailed to you
