Hosting Umbraco app

Hello!

I’m making my own business website in Umbraco. I already bought the domain.. I thought about making a static website, but in the future, I might upgrade it. Also, it’s a good practice project for me. The functionality would be pretty straightforward. I think the most complicated part of the website would be the contact form or maybe a blog. But nothing extra: no registration, etc.

I don’t expect a lot of traffic.

I bought the domain on Cloudflare, but I also need to host it. Could you recommend hosting providers? I looked at Umbraco Cloud pricing, but even the starter kit is too much for my wallet and might be overkill.

I also saw that Cloudflare provides some storage with the free tier. Could that be used to host my Umbraco app in this case?

Thanks for the answers in advance!

Take a look at UmbHost, see if it fits within your budget.

You might want to check out xStatic which allows you to generate a static site from your Umbraco install.

If you can swap out the contact form for a mailto link, you could host the output of xStatic on CloudFlare/Vercel etc

+1 for xStatic!

I used to use it for my personal website when I was on v8 (hosted on Netlify for free), and it worked amazingly well back then!

If you are going with a static website, another alternative is Cloudflare. Cloudflare can host static files for you:
