What's the cheapest/easiest option for hosting a static website (with SSL, obvs)?

I already own the domain and have DNS/email managed and don't really want to shift that.

All I find include domain/email/wordpress/... which I don't need, nor want to pay for?

@hikhvar I should have specified that I don't want GitHub - while I might end up hosting my source on GH, I don't want to tie myself to it necessarily, and Jekyll can go fuck right off. 🙂

@larsmb personally I use the smallest Hertz er Cloudinstance, installed nginx. Deploy via rsync. Cost me around 5 bucks each month, according to my tests can handle ~ 1k req/s.

@hikhvar Yeah, that's the alternative, I am cheap, I was trying to see if there was something even smaller 🙂

@larsmb GitHub Pages and GitLab Pages both let you set a custom domain, and support ACME cert management. Codeberg Pages can do the former but not the latter, I THINK.

@xahteiwi I still have GH trauma from experiencing Jekyll, maybe I do need to get over it.

@larsmb You can deploy static pages on Cloudflare workers pretty cheaply, I believe (if you're OK with having them manage the DNS of your domain)... https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/static-assets/

@larsmb or or any other static site generator. Small VM to host it in.

@johanneskastl Yeah, as for the static site generator, I'll be going with Zola.
The day I touch Jekyll again out of my own free will I'll be seeking therapy, I really wasn't a fan 😂
