- arlk 6y agoYou don't even need a VPS. A static website with no user input better be hosted on Vercel or Netlify, with Cloudflare as a CDN.
- sofixa 6y agoNo need for Cloudflare, Vercel or Netlify already have CDNs. Another option is Cloudflare themselves, with Cloudflare Pages. There's also Firebase, and good old S3+Cloudfront.
- travisjungroth 6y agoI just launched something with AWS Amplify, which is automatic S3+Cloudfront. Insanely easy. Just link a repo.
- 0goel0 6y agoHow much would it cost, assuming 70m visitors and various page sizes (100k to 1m)?
- travisjungroth 6y agoOh, actually a shitload. Data out is $0.15 per GB. 70m at 1mb is $10k. Straight S3 is $80, if I used the calculator right.
- sofixa 6y agoVercel, Netlify and Cloudflare Pages are the same, just link a repo
- icemelt8 6y agoAWS Amplify is an abomination and should never be used.
- nomad225 6y agoCould Github Pages work too?
- arlk 6y agoI don't see any reason why it couldn't.
- freedomben 6y agoYes, a simple static website served with nginx on a $5 rig can handle absolutely absurd amounts of traffic. I've done it. Stick a free cloudflare plan in front of it with caching enabled, and you'll be amazed.
