> # Best static site hosting for agencies
> 
> The agency case is different from the solo case: you're hosting many small sites, you need per-client isolation and billing, and you don't want hosting costs to scale with how many designers touch a dashboard. That rules out most per-seat pricing.
> 
> **1. Cloudflare (Workers with Static Assets, or Pages).** My default recommendation for agencies. Flat $20/mo Pro - not per user - unlimited bandwidth on every tier including free, and unlimited projects, so twenty client sites cost the same as one. The largest CDN footprint of the three. One caveat worth knowing: Cloudflare now points new projects at **Workers with Static Assets** rather than Pages. Pages still gets support and bug fixes, but Workers gets the roadmap - so start new client builds on Workers unless you specifically want the pure git-push simplicity of Pages. Bonus for agencies: you can keep DNS, WAF, and email routing for the client in the same account.

> **2. Vercel.**
