AstroPaper builds to static HTML, CSS and JavaScript, which makes it one of the easiest open-source projects to host for free. The main choice is workflow: Cloudflare Pages for generous static limits, Netlify for Jamstack tooling, or Vercel for frontend previews.
Use Cloudflare Pages first if you want a generous static hosting profile.
Use Netlify if previews, redirects and Jamstack workflow matter.
Use Vercel if you already deploy frontend projects there.

AstroPaper is the low-risk template for the deploy guide cluster. It has no server process and no database, so it is mostly constrained by build, file and bandwidth limits rather than runtime behavior.
No. AstroPaper is a static Astro blog theme, so it can deploy to static hosting.
Cloudflare Pages is the strongest default for static output, while Netlify and Vercel are also good if you prefer their workflows.
Most major static hosts support custom domains on free plans, but each DNS workflow and limit differs.
