>Fine if you can make do with static sites but that's hardly a common use case. This feels odd to me. Unless you are building a web site that is a product, why do you need anything besides a static site? I am going to go as far as to claim that: most websites should be static sites. >I tried Github pages once, rather than Netlify, and pulled my hair out trying to get HTTPS working with a personal domain. Last I checked it's still not possible. Don't know when you checked last, but this is false and has been for years. My personal page/blog/demo has been running in Github pages for past 5 years and I've had custom domain the whole time. I can't remember if HTTPS was from the beginning, but it sure is there now. If memory serves me correctly all you need to do is to point your domain to githubs name server and add a file called `CNAME` with your custom domain to your repo to get it working.
