| Free tier | Free: 1 GB storage, 200 GB/month bandwidth, WebDAV and API on Free (WebDAV is listed on the Supporter table as a Free-tier feature). unit GB; metered on stored-bytes |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Identity | institution (inferred, not read) not published |
| Egress | 200 GB/month soft bandwidth cap on Free: 'Don't worry—these are soft limits. Temporary surges are fine, we won't take your site down automatically'. free allowance: 200 GB per month |
| Per-object cap | not stated |
| Retention | not stated |
| Interface | rest, webdav, rclone, cli rest |
| Tooling | Documented REST API: POST /api/upload (multipart, Bearer API key), plus WebDAV and an official CLI; rclone has no neocities backend but the WebDAV mount covers it. |
| Composes with | 1 GB per site x unlimited sites per account ('Multiple Site Creation' is listed as a free feature) x unlimited free accounts. 20 TiB = 20,480 sites — operationally absurd, so this only works as a shard for a small hot set, not the archive. |
| Reliability | Bandwidth is internally enforced and will throttle, not delete; static file serving goes through Cloudflare with a 300s edge cache. |
| Parsed numbers |

| Evidence note | reported the Free (1 GB storage, 200 GB bandwidth) and Supporter (50 GB storage, 3000 GB bandwidth) columns were read on 2026-11-03 at https://neocities.org/supporter. The page does not state the period of the bandwidth allowance or whether it is per site: unverified, so the per-site monthly reading that decides the verdict is not documented. |
