a basic bitch static website takes three commands in the terminal and a very basic nginx config file to setup on a completely fresh ubuntu VPS. you could read a guide from 2012 and it would work perfectly fine.
is this harder than dealing with cloud 'platforms' and their ever-changing UIs, APIs, SDKs?
- easton 3y agomaybe? You go on Cloudflare's console, click on "pages", click on "new app", name it, drag your folder of website files in and you are done. automatic deploys are also available by linking a github account. It's probably one less click to get a droplet turned up on Digital Ocean, and then you have to configure nginx or caddy (which is like five minutes if you've done it before, 30 if you haven't). Probably worth doing if it's your livelihood and you're afraid of Cloudflare disappearing, but if it's just a mess around... eh.

- cpursley 3y agoYes, this is harder. I don’t want to mess with maintaining or configuring nginx.

- arandomusername 3y ago`sudo apt-get install nginx` `vi /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default` add your config, use chatgpt if you want, save `nginx -s reload` and bam! you're good to go, practically forever.
