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.

Free Tier Value
The pricing page explicitly says “Surge is free to use” and the free tier includes unlimited publishing, custom domain support, and basic SSL. The cheapest paid plan is Surge Professional at $30/mo, which adds server-side/production features beyond the free tier; because the free tier is already unbounded for its core publishing use case, it is marked always_free_unbounded and the conservative FTV signal is anchored at the cheapest paid plan price of $30/month. No credit, trial, or credit-card requirement is stated on the page.
