Try https://netlify.com https://netlify.com. My mother runs a small business, I moved her website from a shitty HostGator setup to there and it's been a charm.
Also, I run my company's website on it (https://assembl.net https://assembl.net) and my blog (https://blog.slm.space https://blog.slm.space). Very different sites, but they all run through Netlify. I haven't had a single problem with them.
I think even the most tech-illiterate could use it with their drag+drop site hosting feature + https://forestry.io https://forestry.io CMS.
- petepete 6y agoNetlify is one of the few tools where everything is as I expect it. Everything I've done with it has 'just worked' and I love the automatic preview builds that are generated for GitHub PRs.
- jfengel 6y agoEvery time I break out of its ecosystem, I'm simply horrified. Using an external service from AWS or Google is a nightmare of configuration. They are both preparing on day 1 for your application to become Facebook and Amazon, forcing me to make decisions I don't even begin to judge, and opening pathways through security that might be right or might be complete disasters. The "happy path" for a new user is rarely clear, and the documentation is bewildering because it's aimed at much more difficult cases than mine. Netlify does a great job of simplyfing to a small number of likely paths. At some point I'd surely break out of its use case and be forced to swim in the much deeper pool of a more general provider, but at least I'll have some grounding to start from.
