GitHub import, push-to-deploy
Connect a repo (or paste a public owner/repo without connecting anything), pick a branch, and every push to it redeploys automatically via a registered webhook.
Deploy from GitHub or a folder, let Webstead run the cycles and monitoring, and keep a real exit path the whole time.
Connect a repo (or paste a public owner/repo without connecting anything), pick a branch, and every push to it redeploys automatically via a registered webhook.
Vite, Astro, Create React App, and static Next.js exports are detected from your package.json and lockfile, with sensible build settings proposed automatically and editable if you need to override them.
Drag a folder or a zip of already-built static assets. No repo, no build step, no local tooling — useful for templates, exports from other tools, or a quick one-off page.
A failed build gets a "Diagnose this failure" button that reads the log and explains the likely fix in plain language. Optional, and it doesn't store anything.
Every site lives in its own smart-contract-backed canister on the IC, replicated across an independent subnet — no shared origin server, no CDN contract.
Instead of a raw cycle balance, your dashboard shows days of runway left, so you know at a glance whether a site needs attention.
Set a per-site cycle budget and a plan-level quota. When either is reached, automatic top-ups pause — your site keeps serving on whatever runway remains, deploys are never blocked.
Webstead funds cycles for you within your budget, so a healthy site doesn't need day-to-day babysitting.
Every site gets a branded address the moment you deploy — no DNS setup, served natively by the IC gateway.
Add your own domain, copy the generated DNS records, and click Check setup — we validate against the IC's custom-domain service and flip the badge to active once it resolves.
Every canister ID is public and links straight to the Internet Computer's own dashboard, so you can independently verify exactly what's deployed — not just take our word for it.
Take self-custody whenever you want: we transfer canister control to a principal you own and step back. Documented on your account's Export & ownership page.
Set VITE_API_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_*, or any key your build needs. Values are encrypted at rest and only ever decrypted for the duration of a build.
Worker liveness, 24-hour deploy success rate, and queue depth — a real dashboard, not just a claim of reliability. See /status.
Collect visitor form submissions on any site, and forward every submission to your own endpoint with an HMAC-signed payload, GitHub-style.
Describe a change in chat and the assistant edits your page builder document directly — you review the live preview and press Publish yourself.
