About

Surge is a static web publishing service for front-end developers. It provides a command-line workflow for publishing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from a local project directory to a Surge-hosted domain or a custom domain.

The free offering includes unlimited publishing, custom domain support, and basic SSL. The service also supports single-page app routing with pushState, custom 404.html pages, cross-origin resource sharing, and integrations with build tools such as Grunt, Gulp, npm scripts, Jekyll, and CI services.

This free tier is genuinely usable and perpetual, with unlimited publishing, custom domain support, and basic SSL, but it stops short of the server-side and pro controls in the paid plan. Since the cheapest paid plan is $30/month and the free tier covers roughly a third of that practical value, it lands at about $9/month. A credit card is not mentioned as required, so there is no signup friction signal here.
