SourceHut Pages review
A developer-focused static host for Git or Mercurial publishing, with paid access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SourceHut Pages is a static website hosting service for developers and projects that want publishing integrated with a software-forge workflow. It can publish sites generated by Hugo, Jekyll, or Doxygen, as well as static content delivered from tarballs. Sites receive an srht.site subdomain, while custom domains and automatic TLS certificates support public-facing deployments. Publishing is available through the hut CLI, Git or Mercurial repositories, and SourceHut Builds.
Its strongest fit is the SourceHut ecosystem. Automated deployments connect Git and Mercurial repositories with SourceHut Builds, while REST and GraphQL APIs support programmatic workflows. Additional controls include subdirectory publishing, per-site publishing permissions, custom 404 pages, and cache-control headers. The web, API, and self-hosted platform options give technical teams several ways to work with the service, although the product remains centered on static sites rather than general application hosting.
Pricing is organized into Amateur hackers, Typical hackers, and Professional hackers, with each listed tier highlighting full access to all services. The published pricing details identify a starting price of 4, and Pages is described as an optional service during the public alpha. That makes SourceHut Pages a fit for users who value Git or Mercurial deployment, API access, and fine-grained publishing controls within SourceHut. Teams seeking a free static-hosting option, dynamic application hosting, or AI features should consider a different product.
