Surge is the zero-friction static hosting platform built for front-end developers who demand speed and simplicity. With one npm install and a single six-keystroke command—`surge`—you can ship HTML, CSS, JS, React, Vue or Jekyll sites to a lightning-fast, global CDN in under five seconds. No Git gymnastics, no build-pipeline wrestling, no credit-card capture: just instantaneous public URLs, free SSL on every surge.sh subdomain, pushState routing for SPAs, custom 404s, and instant custom-domain support. Deep Grunt, Gulp, npm-script and CI integrations (Travis, Circle, Codeship) mean Surge fades into your existing workflow, while team-collaboration via CLI invites keeps everyone in sync. Over 13 million deployments and 190 TB served prove that Surge removes every excuse between “it works locally” and “it’s live on the web.”

Usecases

A React developer runs `npm run build && surge` to publish a new marketing page in 5 s before the stand-up demo link is needed.
An agency designer adds `grunt-surge` to a Gruntfile so every `grunt deploy` instantly ships the client’s minified site to https://client-demo.surge.sh for same-day review.
Hackathon teammates set a Git hook so `git push` triggers `surge --project ./dist --domain myapp.surge.sh`, giving judges a live URL without manual steps.
A technical writer builds Jekyll docs locally, types `surge _site`, and obtains a custom-domain https://docs.myapi.com with zero server config.
An enterprise QA pipeline uses Travis CI + Surge to auto-publish pull-request builds to https://pr-123.testing.surge.sh for stakeholder sign-off before merge.
