This site would be roughly $free to run through CloudFront on AWS, which would scale more-or-less infinitely at a sublinear cost.
Their free tier covers 50GB of transfer and 2mm requests. If you need an extra 50GB as indicated elsewhere in the thread it would cost about $4.25 a month, less if it's not the full 50.
I'm looking to move off of a cheap shared hosting provider and on to AWS for my ten-accidental-hits-a-month personal (static) sites, it doesn't make sense to even consider a webserver for a solved problem like this.
- richardw 7y agoI've moved a bunch of static sites to S3 (or Google equivalent) and CloudFlare. One article was hit by HN and (for fun) I spent the time massaging the CloudFlare rules to almost fully handle via cache and try get the response time as low as possible.
- nickjj 7y agoThe free tier for CloudFront only lasts for 12 months. After that you're on the regular plan.

- ClumsyPilot 7y agoIt doesn't make much sense to compare it to a free service, where someone else does all the work for you.
