After many different iterations, I'm now using netlify (with middleman). Really hard to beat. GitHub pages are amazingly fast and a pretty good default choice.

GitHub pages are amazingly fast and a pretty good default choice. With cloudflare it's a pretty solid combo.
But netlify's awareness/integration between the content and the cdn is really compelling. Imagine they'll be able to do a lot more with it down the line too.
- elliotec 9y agoMe too. My personal site is in Middleman hosted on a digital ocean instance so I can have more control of that side (also wanted to learn more about nginx and SSL) but lately I've been using Middleman with Netlify - it's unbeatable for getting projects up and running fast. Built-in continuous integration and automatic SSL, you can even get your domain through them. Their CMS makes creating a fully featured blog ridiculously easy. 10/10 would Netlify again.
- jwilliams 9y agoYup! Actually I forgot one feature that would be nice - being able to get the raw HTTP logs...
- quicksnap 9y agoI've been developing front-end apps for so long I was out of the loop when a friend asked me, "How can I upload a website folder to a domain". Turns out, the easiest path is Netlify. It provides you with a CDN and storage for free, and has a nice drag-and-drop deploy interface for basic static sites.
