Ultra-fast static sites, hosted in France
🔒 VPS onlyThe static site generator powered by Hugo, deployed and maintained by DINAO. Your pages are compiled into pure HTML and served from our French servers — maximum speed, minimal attack surface.
What is Hugo?
Hugo is an open-source static site generator written in Go, renowned for being one of the fastest in the world: it can compile thousands of pages in a few seconds. The principle is simple — your Markdown content and templates are pre-processed into static HTML pages, ready to be served.
This approach offers two major advantages: near-instant loading speed for visitors, and security by design, since there is no database or code executed on each request — the attack surface is reduced to the strict minimum. Hugo also offers a rich system of templates, shortcodes, asset pipelines, as well as native multilingual support and taxonomies.
With DINAO, Hugo is integrated into a managed build pipeline: you push your source code (versioned with Git), the site automatically rebuilds and deploys to your domain, with pre-production and CDN delivery. Ideal for blogs, showcase sites, documentation, and high-traffic portals.
Host Hugo at DINAO
No managed container for Hugo: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 cœur / 256 Mo / 1 Go minimum).
Application available on a VPS
This application requires privileged access to the host machine, which is incompatible with managed shared hosting. It is installed on a VPS (virtual private server) that you administer: DINAO delivers it with Docker and the management panel of your choice, and you install and maintain Hugo yourself. The VPS is not managed by DINAO unless you add the managed-services option when ordering.
Technical reason: bind-mount d'un chemin hôte (volumes nommés uniquement en managé).
