Yeah a static webserver on a low end VPS is more than sufficient for front page traffic.

- sofixa 5y agoOr a fully static host, like Netlify, Firebase Hosting, CloudFlare Pages, etc. which have extremely generous free tiers. I got twice to top ~15 of the HN front page, including once briefly at #1, within a month ( the billing period) and got to only ~90% of my bandwidth allowance of the Firebase Hosting free tier ( which isn't the most generous one). Not only is it cheaper, it's also with less hassle ( there's nothing to manage, you just send static HTML / code to build to static HTML).
