yes. I host my personal website (maddo.xxx) on a single EC2 instance with just nginx. It's easy. It's fast. When I want to over-engineer the shit out of it for fun, it's ready.

Deploys? One line of `scp`

scp -r -i ./certs/maddoxxxnginx.pem ./app/* ubuntu@13.52.101.21:/var/www/maddo.xxx/

(that deploy script just bulk uploads everything, but that's fine for now. The whole site is measured in KB.)
