One thing I like about Fastmail is the ability to serve static web content directly from the “Files” section of their apps/website.
Since they already manage the domain for email, spinning up static sites at subdomains is really easy and really nice.
- ipaddr 5y agoI'm a new fastmail customer. Fastmail doesn't control my domain how does this feature work?
- csande17 5y agoFastmail recommends setting them as the DNS nameserver for your domain. If you do that, then they'll automatically add any records needed to host websites with them. (They'll also set up records for stuff like DKIM and SPF for you, which helps your email stay out of spam filters.)
- stn8188 5y agoThis is a huge feature for me. I had set up my EE consultancy and even though I'm no longer doing any side work the Fatmail hosting feature allows my to keep a professional-looking static site for no extra cost with a place to post periodic blog updates and even the beginnings of a niche knowledge base. I love it!
- prirun 5y agoI almost did this, but they don't have rsync access to the Files space. It's really nice with a static site being able to use rsync to just update the changed files.
- hn_version_0023 5y agoI use ncftp from a CI/CD job to push my files to Fastmail; it has a sync option Edit: I’m pretty sure the sync options are part of the put command
