Re: Jekyll hosting anyone you'd recommend? As far as control goes, gh-pages has met almost all of my needs as I can use proper and semantic markup, use a custom domain and such.
In your opinion what am I missing out on based on my above comments that should be considered? I appreciate the feedback so far, you've raised some good points to think about.

- discreditable 10y agoI like NearlyFreeSpeech.net. Like I said previously, my hosting costs were 82 cents for 2016. I cheat a little using Cloudflare to cache content, but I estimate my bill would be maybe $2 without Cloudflare. The biggest advantage of my own host is TLS with my custom domain. Last time I checked, gh-pages doesn't do that. I'm a big proponent of encrypting the web, so that alone is enough for me. On top of TLS, using a real host gives me some control I wouldn't have on gh-pages. I can use .htaccess to redirect pages, set cache expiry times, and server headers (such as strict-transport-security). All of that makes it worth the very low cost of entry.
