Google App Engine has a very generous free quota. The setup isn't as easy as good old FTP, because you need to define your static files in a configuration file. Once the config is written the deployment is a single command though.

- ZephyrBlu 6y agoI think you're better off using bucket storage rather than App Engine for a static site.
- modeless 6y agoThe free bandwidth quota isn't enormous, but if you put Cloudflare in front then you're good for practically unlimited free traffic. App Engine is overkill for a completely static site but it's great for something that is mostly static with one or two things that change.

If so, that doesn't seem so difficult to me. Yes, you're right - the deployment is a single command for something as simple as a static website until the next time you need to make changes (then you'll have to root around your terminal again) or you decide to upgrade from static to something a bit more complex. Shameless plug here - my site, https://nocommandline.com https://nocommandline.com, allows you to just select and click deploy; no routing around in terminal/commandline.
