Render provides a way to host apps, websites, and web services. The user can link a GitHub or GitLab repository and click Create Web Service. Render automatically builds and deploys the service every time there's a push to the repository. The platform has native support for Node.js, Python, Ruby, Elixir, Go, and Rust. Render can also build and deploy anything with a Dockerfile.

Some features and benefits of hosting Web Services on Render, as described by the vendor:

Zero downtime deploys
Free and fully-managed TLS certificates
Custom domains (including wildcards)
Manual or automatic scaling
Optional persistent disks
Pull Request Previews
Instant rollbacks
HTTP/2
DDoS protection
Brotli compression

Deploying static sites on Render can be done by linking a GitHub or GitLab repo — Render then builds the static site every time there is a push to the repo, and serves it over a global CDN with fully managed TLS certificates.

Static sites on Render are free, with no cost unless they go above 100 GB of bandwidth per month.

Out of the box the static web hosting service on Render includes:

Continuous and automatic deploys from GitHub and GitLab.
Instant cache invalidation with a global CDN.
Unlimited teams and collaborators for free.
100 GB/month bandwidth included at no cost. Additional bandwidth just $0.10/GB per month.
Automatic Pull Request Previews.
Redirects and Rewrites.
Custom HTTP headers.
Native HTTP/2 support.
Detailed bandwidth graphs.
Automatic Brotli compression for faster sites.
Automatic TLS certificate issuance and renewal.
Automatic HTTP → HTTPS redirects.
Unlimited custom domains.
DDoS protection.
400 free build hours per month across static sites and free web services.

Services can also include managed and backed up (optionally) Redis, or PostgreSQL, optional "Render Disks" (Render services can use disks to store data that persists across deploys and restarts, making it easier to deploy stateful applications while benefiting from Render features like instant setup, fully-managed TLS certificates, private networking and auto deploys from Git; Render Disks are backed by SSDs and protected against data loss through automatic daily snapshots), and the Render Public REST API.
