React hosting guide
React hosting guide
The best React host is the one that matches how your app is built. A static landing page and a server-rendered product should not be hosted the same way by default.
Recommended starting point: Cloudflare Workers for static and edge-first React
What matters most
Static React hosting should optimize for fast asset delivery, clean redirects, cache headers, and simple deployments from a build directory.
Server-rendered React hosting should optimize for framework compatibility, cold start behavior, observability, environment variables, and preview deployments.
For steady traffic, compare the pricing model against your real page views, bandwidth, build minutes, function invocations, and image optimization usage.
Deployment steps
- Classify the app as static, server-rendered, full-stack, or containerized.
- Pick two likely providers and test the exact production build on both.
- Measure first byte time, cache behavior, and redirect correctness from real URLs.
- Choose the provider with the smallest operational burden for your actual architecture.
