We advocate transparent comparisons. You should stick with Webflow's native hosting infrastructure if:
You depend on Webflow's native editor-based dynamic database updates, custom filter fields, or native search items.
You utilize Webflow's built-in forms integrations, validation, or native e-commerce logic out of the box.
Your organization has extensive team accounts where separate monthly invoices are not allowed or billing consolidation is mandatory.
Export your Webflow site HTML/CSS/JS (Settings -> Export).
Connect the exported zip or directory structure to hostfa.st.
Point your domain to hostfa.st with one simple CNAME record details.
Cancel Webflow paid hosting. Keep designer workspace if needed.
Stop paying expensive Webflow Basic and CMS rates. Host your static assets on the global edge CDN instead.
