TierHive Static Hosting launch - 1 payment for life & you get to use the credit on a VPS as well.

Around 6 weeks later than planned, and with fewer features than we wanted the static hosting is now alive on TierHive.
To use it, you simply need to have made a payment, ever, once, and you will have access to the free tier for the life of the product, so that's a $3 minimum for life-long self-replicating geo-distributed load-balanced static hosting, and you also get to use that $3 of credit on anything else in the panel anyway.
The free tier gives you 25MB space (in every location), standard zones and up to 3 locations per zone and 1000 files.
The paid tier is $0.000040 per 100MB per hour or part thereof, and gets 10000 files and access to the global zone, which will automatically add all available zones new and old as TierHive grows.
We have load-balanced all locations with auto-failover to other locations and done our best to do closest zone routing for end users for the fastest ttfb.
We have also got a default page that will load for your domains if you just want to warm them up while giving us that backlink. It is basic but engineered to score 100 on all metrics on pagespeed.
Space is calculated globally per zone, so if you have 10MB in 3 locations in 1 zone, that is considered 10MB
Have your micro instance manage your static buildout/export/git and push to static hosting
Notes:
- There may be bugs. Please remember that all of TierHive is in Alpha.
- This is not Cloudflare static hosting, we are just trying to offer a simple alternative.
- This is a service intended to complement the overall TierHive offer, we already provide VPS which is why we decided not to include git build/actions if you need that and cant manage it via a VPS that pushes to your static hosting account, you probably should be using Cloudflare.
- Access to static hosting is via key only; we do not and will not allow password-based authentication.
- I understand there are now a few people selling voucher codes via billing > vouchers for TierHive due to georesrictions or to enable crypto payments for people (which is all fine), please make sure these users understand voucher use does not give access to the free tier.
- Sign up numbers are going to be closely monitored and may be turned off and on a lot like we did when TierHive first launched, either for bug fix or capacity.
- It runs on IPv4 only.

Thanks to this, just found out there is a url shortener that works on static hosting. Will try it out.

Amazing! Exciting to play with it
Thanks for the reminder. I have hosted another shortener for years and I will be the only user who can generate short link, so it should be fine.
Already have a side project live now (https://caddy.ninja/)
The whole process was very painless, which is refreshing compared to how convoluted other "static hosting" platforms can be.
Thanks
Brilliant, that's really good to hear!

Been waiting for this! Great stuff Anthony!
I get an error saying:
All Locations zones are not available on the free tier. Upgrade to create a global zone.
I have paid for credits in the past, I assume I'll need to put some more credit on my account? (Not a problem!)
Cheers

Hey,
That's not an error, you need to upgrade to the paid tier if you want to use the global zone (it's a much heavier backend)
You can use the standard zone for free without paying if you have credit which you have paid for.
I hope that makes sense.
Ant.

Ahhhh I missed that button! I'm on mobile so I didn't spot it, my mistake!
Cheers!
Congratulations for getting this big feature out the door!
More stuff for me to try out!
