Our verdict on Neocities

Neocities is an open-source static hosting service for personal websites, portfolios, digital gardens, online zines, and community archives. Its free plan provides 1 GB of storage, 200 GB of bandwidth, a Neocities subdomain with SSL, an in-browser site editor, and a CLI tool. It is a fit for individuals who want to publish HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other static files without paying for basic hosting, and who are comfortable managing a lightweight website rather than relying on a documented build pipeline.

The vendor’s pricing page lists two plans. Free includes the subdomain, editor, CLI, and stated storage and bandwidth limits. Supporter costs $5 per month and raises the allowances to 50 GB of storage and 3,000 GB of bandwidth; it also adds custom domains, SSL certificates for those domains, one-click backups, and WebDAV uploading. That makes the upgrade relevant when a project needs its own domain or backups, while the free plan covers simple sites that can use a Neocities subdomain. The paid plan is a straightforward monthly option rather than a menu of tiers.

Publishing options include drag-and-drop uploads, command-line site management, a Git pre-push hook, and a REST API for uploading, listing, deleting, and retrieving site information. RSS feeds, an Anycast CDN, and SSL are also listed features. This range suits people who want to choose between browser-based editing and file-oriented workflows. Neocities is less suitable for teams seeking a documented build-and-preview workflow: the official pages reviewed do not describe preview deployments, build minutes, rollbacks, or monorepo support. Choose it for simple, handmade static projects; consider another host if those deployment controls are central to your process.
