Founder of BitBalloon (https://www.bitballoon.com https://www.bitballoon.com) here.
Always interesting to see more and more startups popping up in the static hosting space. Since we launched a year ago there's been at least 6 other entering the space.
Right now it looks like your main selling point is price.
Think carefully about whether that's the way you want to go. The real competitors here is the humongous shared hosting market, and the big players there have much deeper pockets and far better economies of scale than any startup.
With a $1/site price you'll pretty much never have a chance to make paid advertising a viable customer acquisition channel and as someone else mentioned, think about what the price of giving any kind of support will be. The lower end of the market will (in my experience) also be the place where people will need the most help with stuff like DNS setup, or basic issues such as not having an index.html file, etc, etc.
Good luck!
