With Sites, Appwrite offers a streamlined solution for easily deploying static and server-rendered applications. Everything is designed to simplify your workflow, from creating a site and connecting a domain to leveraging our templates.
Appwrite was born out of a deep frustration with the complexity of app development. From the beginning, our mission has been to simplify the developer experience and make it easier to build secure, scalable, and modern applications, without the headaches.
For years, Appwrite has offered everything you need to power your backend, from databases and authentication to storage and serverless functions. But one major piece was always missing: hosting your frontend.
Until now.
Today, we're excited to introduce Appwrite Sites, the easiest way to deploy and host your websites and web apps directly inside Appwrite. No more context-switching between services, wrangling with third-party integrations, managing extra accounts, and paying for more subscriptions. Build, deploy, and go live, all from one unified platform.
With Sites, Appwrite becomes the first fully open-source development platform to offer an end-to-end experience, all under one roof. Whether shipping static websites, server-rendered apps, or complex full-stack products, you now have one place to do it all. Seamlessly. Securely. Effortlessly.
This launch is about more than convenience. It’s about continuing our commitment to give developers the tools they need to move fast and stay focused on what matters most, creating amazing experiences.
We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and even more excited about what’s ahead. As always, your feedback has been instrumental in shaping Appwrite’s platform, and we can’t wait to hear what you think.

Who hunted Appwrite Sites?
Appwrite Sites was hunted by Ben Lang. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
