Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.2

GPA, above 74 of the 122 other web hosts we grade

Appwrite Sites is the web hosting product inside the Appwrite platform. It deploys static, single-page and server-rendered frontends from Git, the CLI or a manual upload, with branch preview URLs, rollbacks, a CDN and TLS. Sites are not priced on their own: they are part of an Appwrite organization plan alongside auth, databases, storage and functions.

To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Appwrite Sites, taken from its own pages and our grades.

You set up builds and deploys, with a learning curve and no store rating.

Who Appwrite Sites is for

  • Fits if you already use Appwrite for your backend
  • Works for small front-end projects deployed from GitHub

Who it is not for

  • Tight if you stay free: 2 projects, 5 GB of bandwidth and pausing after a week idle
  • Watch out: usage counts against the organization's shared limits
  • Skip it if you use GitLab or Bitbucket, listed as coming soon
  • Pricey if traffic grows, with extra bandwidth at $15 per 100 GB

Good to know

Good for

  • Teams already using Appwrite for auth, databases or functions
  • Frontend developers deploying Next.js, Nuxt or SvelteKit apps
  • Projects that want hosting and a backend under one subscription

Worth knowing

  • Sites are priced as part of an Appwrite organization, so usage counts against shared bandwidth, storage, execution and build limits.
  • Free projects are paused after one week of inactivity and limited to 2 projects; Pro removes pausing.
  • Pro shows a "From $25" price with pay-as-you-go overage, including $15 per 100 GB of extra bandwidth.
  • The Git provider list shows GitHub and Origin, with GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea and others listed as coming soon.

Keep it

Nothing Appwrite Sites does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 3 things listed below take a company.

It costs $300 a year.

What you could not

  • Databases with views, filters and links between them.
  • A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
  • It plugs into other products, GitHub, Next.js and Nuxt among them.
