Can I Host HTML Files Separately From WordPress at Pagely?

Yes, we can host static HTML files for you in subdirectories of your WordPress instance.

What we don’t support are standalone PHP scripts in the webroot. If you’re doing custom PHP, it needs to be done as a WordPress plugin or theme (using WordPress security best practices), or must be run via cron.

If you’re currently hosting legacy HTML sites that are set to be transitioned into WordPress sites, there’s a roundabout way we can still serve those on a VPS here without mandating excessive restructuring. Basically your flat HTML, CSS files will need to be placed in the theme folder, built out through a plugin where you’re redirecting WordPress to that HTML site. For any SQL or PHP scripts you have, you’d need to create an additional table in the WordPress database.

If you have any questions about how we can support you at Pagely, just ask our sales team and we’ll be happy to assist.
