Static hosting without git
Yes — Novence hosts a static site without git. Deploy a folder or one HTML file. No GitHub account. Git is optional for your own source control.
Which hosts match this constraint?
| Host | Matches? |
|---|---|
| Novence | Yes. Folder or one HTML file. No git required. |
| Surge.sh | Yes. surge a local directory. |
| Static.app | Yes. ZIP / folder / desktop sync. |
| Tiiny.host | Yes. Drag-and-drop share links. |
| GitHub Pages | No. Git push is the product. |
| statichost.eu | No. Git clone + optional platform build. |
What is the exact Novence limit?
You must have the files locally (or the agent must). Novence does not clone a repo or run a build. GitHub Actions can still deploy if you want git for source — that is CI, not the host.
FAQ
Can I host a static site without git?
Yes. npx novence deploy ./dist or npx novence deploy report.html. See /host-html.
Does GitHub Actions require git on Novence?
Actions uses git for your repo. The host still receives a folder. /integrations/github-actions.
