Not completely OT as this is going to end up with an electronics related web site on it, but does anyone know of any cheap static web hosting that doesn't suck and meets the following criteria? 1. Competent. 2. Doesn't require running a VM or infrastructure. 3. Isn't Amazon/AWS 4. Preferably hosted in Europe. 5. Non ridiculous upload process. SFTP/git push = good. FTP/web interface = poo. 6. Cheapish. 7. Static web only (I'm pre-generating the entire site). 8. No silly site designers like wix. 9. Reliable. 10. Can shift a good TiB a month. I've narrowed it down to webfaction.com so far. |

11. Doesn't increase the price of the hosting after first year to 10 times as before. |

I spent the entire week arguing with a few hundred Linux VMs on AWS. I don't want to take the job home :) ... also if you're on AWS and it goes down or fucks up (which it does VERY regularly), unless you pay for their basic support plan, you get McDonalds quality support. Also the free tier VMs can't even get past updates on CentOS without running out of CPU credits. The whole thing is a turd for low volume, single users. And not using S3 because to get root domain, you need to use Route53 which adds more cost and S3 is a PITA generally. I'm looking at $10/mo with webfaction so far so colo hosting is out at $20/month. Just looking for literally static web hosting that doesn't suck. I've got email covered already. Don't want hardware. Don't want to run scripts. Just want to publish content. I've got a couple of projects on the go, one of them taking the piss out of audiofools. NANDBlog: that too! |

I can provide hosting on one of my dedi's in AU if you're interested. It will be a VPS but on a Xen hypervisor and lightning fast. I can host in the EU but it will cost additional as I do not have a large client base in that region at the moment that warrants housing more then a couple of servers. I do not lease out cPanel/Plesk, etc hosting, these are Debian based VPS servers with full SSH access for the web account. Any configuration/tools are available (ie, git) on request as each client is isolated on their own VPS. |
