I kinda feel like the premise is already pretty amiss - a simple, small site that serves static pages puts absolutely no demand on "running a server", you're perfectly fine with a basic hosting plan that will require little to zero maintenance and be really cheap.
The idea that you'd have to "run a server" or else "use ready made SaaS platform" feels like a constructed problem.
- Spivak 6y agoIsn't that basic hosting plan still a ready made SaaS platform?
- krsdcbl 6y agoonly in the sense that you'll pay rent for it, it's not "software" and will let you run your own stack with no added cost and full portability.
- mmazing 6y agoIsn't putting something on Github to host it still a ready made SaaS platform?
- jokethrowaway 6y agoYes but you can run offbase of a local git repo (judging from the post)
- theamk 6y agoNot in the sense of that blogpost. They say about SAAS: > Problem: The service provider will lock you in. No full control over your content. this is clearly does not apply to basic hosting plans. You have full control, an there is no lock-in at all -- all of those hosting plans are basically equivalent.
