Perhaps the most cheap and straightforward method will be to host a static website on S3 or Azure. Especially considering that the first year is almost free.
> On a VPS? Certainly has a few more advantages. You get your own email for example. Like [email protected]
However, VPS providers are more expensive for our purposes. The cheap ones are shady. You will have to pay upfront

I host mine on a pretty boringly standard VPS (DigitalOcean). Probably a little more expensive than necessary for just a website, but I use it for other things too. Only notable thing is that it's a hybrid gopher/HTTP site (i.e., you can access it over either protocol).

Use Jekyll to build a static site. Host on Github pages.

Did you try other hosts before settling with DigitalOcean? Do you host your own mail server? Your experiences can be useful
Caleb Anderson
I have a site hosted on github pages. That is my portfolio. I have a site hosted on gitlab pages. That is my blog. I also have a site hosted on a Raspberry Pi 1. That is for dev stuff / my old portfolio site / my secret blog.

Stallman's website is good, Luke al-Smith's is not. Just write your website in html and host it yourself.

Static site generator Github repository Netlify
I write stuff for my site in markdown and push it to github and it automatically deploys to my live site. By far the easiest way to make a personal site.

>github pages What email do you use? Have you considered aliasing with custom domain?
from what I understand, cock.li doesn't have an option to alias your email
Something I found that is free and powerful is Heroku. If you use it with Django you can basically mix Python with HTML/CSS/JS and do all sorts of crazy stuff Really easy and free but I'm not sure how much traffic it can handle before you need to pay. Also the domain has herokuapp.com on the end of it, haven't looked into getting rid of it
Adrian White
DO NOT use jekyl, hugo, or any other static site generator.
All static site generators are bloated rubbish and they produce bloated rubbish. Don't be a baseddev!
I suggest creating your own static site generator with PHP which is included almost everywhere now. If PHP is not to your liking Python would also work.

Joshua Hughes
php is fine for templating but horrible for writing entire applications
Ryder Davis
php is bloat. just use server-side includes.

stallman is insufferable, but have to respect him for being so thoroughly principled. also, just learn html and host form a RasPi or something ffs

Can you generate a static site with ssi? I use php to generate a static website locally then I upload the site to s3. I would use ssi instead if you can use it locally
write it from scratch host it anywhere since its few kB or you can used Github Pages and push stuff into viewable sites, then just buy domain elswhere cheaply and link it. I made this supersimple less than 5 kb website for myself on wedos (local hosting) >rajnoha.com/
Isaac Fisher
Looks cool
Ian Evans
Github pages is actually free and the domain is somewhat customizable. You can just host a repo with your site in it, doesn't get much simpler than that. Same goes for gitlab, if you don't like hosting your shit on m$ servers.

>that formatting of the html files
You use emacs, don't you?
Brayden James
>rajnoha.com/ no actually, the problem is that I have a vim on debian at home, but vim inside iTerm2 terminal emulator on my work's mac and its a mess.
Henry Harris
I run plain html (no markup) on gitlab pages and it's fine
Jaxon Brooks
So this github pages thing is free, but still had to fork out a bit to get a domain yes?
Henry Hernandez
anyone else feel disgust looking at rms? look after your body, damn.
you need to set up a config file so it gets auto-builded. There is list of prepared project for various static sites generators, but you can start with empty project if you want.
Brayden Gray
This still needs escaping though. Cant you just serve txt files?
