I use Netlify which has the same qualities and requires less setup/attention. Am not affiliated with them.


Seconded - all you have to do is specify a build command and an output directory and Netlify will build your site on every commit to master. You can easily add a custom domain, manage DNS, and get Let’s Encrypt SSL with the click of a button.

Not affiliated either, but I’ve been blown away by how seamless their service has been.


Indeed so, I had quite a bit of code written to handle deployment for 2 simple static websites, all got replaced by netlify in under 10 minutes, mind blown.


I totally agree. Netlify has everything I need.


A second vote for Netlify, it's incredibly easy to use. I'm not monitoring uptime, but have had zero issues so far.

I use it with Hugo, a static site generator. I believe Netlify has an easy SSL setup option, but it has been a while since I set it up.

Before, I used NearlyFreeSpeech, which was very low cost but not nearly as streamlined.


netlify's ssl is one button plus a dns entry. it's pretty shiny


I was not aware of Netlify, thanks for letting me know. I've added it to the list of alternatives.
