Ask HN: What's the easiest way to host a static website?

1 pointbhurlow13 years ago3 comments

I have tried:

1. Amazon s3

2. Custom simple node.js web server and a PAAS like Heroku, Appfog etc.

3. Linux server running nginx (so far more expensive than the above options)

Any other awesome static web hosting services I'm missing? I'm looking for absolute ease of use here

yourname.github.io, and you can use your own domain for free (https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-a-custom-domain-...).

Additionally, you could use a site generator such as Jekyll with GitHub Pages (https://help.github.com/articles/using-jekyll-with-pages).

nearlyfreespeech.net or any other hosting website?

this is cool thnx, more or less what I was looking for
