How do you all host your static sites?
I've built a few static sites and now I want to deploy to static hosting sites and show to my prospects.
I am looking at hosting on an S3 bucket. Just want to know how do you guys your static sites?
P.S: Long term - I want to CI/CD my every branch to S3. Thoughts?
I am going to recommend Surge.sh . I haven't seen anything faster than that to quickly just get your webapp online.
I used Heroku for my early projects. Currently, I use Netlify and it is much simpler to use than Heroku with a better interface.
Initially, I hosted my Statamic sites on Digital Ocean (and used Forge to provision the server and manage deployments).
Now, I use the Static Site Generator add-on for Statamic and deploy directly to Netlify: https://youtu.be/aRgOBn0zKMI
@sergio It's Laravel/PHP based. And I love it. I run both Transistor and my personal blog on it.
AWS S3, with Cloudfront and Route 53, not the best fan of AWS (poor docs) but at least nothing too complicated with these 3 services.
Loved S3… I second that AWS docs are hard especially if you want to read-between-the-lines and set it up quickly.
I slept for 2 hours to calm my mind and then went through the docs and finally understood how to set and get it up and running.
Its ain't poor docs but really could have been way too simpler. Lol.
Vercel is great, and the integration with Gitlab CI is just perfect.
Otherwise, you can use a combination between Firebase hosting and Cloudflare to reduce the bandwidth usage. I find Firebase hosting pretty expensive when you go to the paid plan…
