Free React hosting

Free React hosting on HostKB — build and deploy React apps from Git with HTTPS.

Free React hosting

Free React hosting and deploy from Git on HostKB — builds, HTTPS, and logs included.

  • Free application hosting so you can deploy React without renting a VPS first
  • Build a static production bundle (Vite/CRA) and serve with nginx in Docker
  • Or deploy a React app that ships with its own Node server
  • Git-based deployments with builds, HTTPS, custom domains, and real-time logs
  • Optional auto-deploy on push for continuous deployment

How to deploy React on HostKB

Free deployment from Git: connect repo → build → deploy → HTTPS URL.

  1. Create a free HostKB account and open a project.
  2. Create an application with source type Git Repository (deploy from GitHub guide).
  3. Add a Dockerfile (or use Railpack when available) so the platform can build your React app.
  4. Set environment variables, then click Build and Deploy.
  5. Open your app URL and attach a custom domain when you go live.

React Dockerfile tip

For SPAs, a common pattern is a multi-stage Dockerfile: npm run build, then copy dist/ into an nginx image that serves index.html for client routes.

Why use HostKB for React

  • One place to host and deploy — free to start, grow when you need
  • Works for APIs, web apps, and containerized services — not only static sites
  • Scale later with app sizes without changing your Git workflow
