Questions

How do I deploy React?
Connect the repository, upload the folder, or ask Claude Code or GitHub Copilot to deploy it. Light Cloud reads the files, builds React and returns a live URL in minutes, with a preview URL for every branch.
How much does it cost to host React?
Static sites are free on every plan, with no limit on how many (fair use: 20 GB of bandwidth a month per workspace on Free). A typical one uses about $0.01 of usage a month.
