This seems too good to be true. I have a need to store dozens of GBs of photos, and I can put them on GAE for free?<p>According to GAE's quotas page [1], free hosting of code and static files is only for the first 1GB. After that it is $0.13 per GB per month.<p>[1] <a href="https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas#Code" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas#Code</a>
Try s3 + cloudflare. You will have to pay for ssl but barring that s3 + cloudflare will let you host a naked domain for almost free. Suppose you want some cheap static publishing, set up a dev heroku instance (free) and have it publish to your s3 bucket.
SNI is a curious choice for a 'Universal' widget, especially when GAE offers dedicated(?) IP addresses. Carriers are still selling Android 2.x phones which will give a certificate error with the widget, and IE on XP isn't exactly a small target. Although i guess it depends on your market.<p>EDIT: Wow, GAE charges $39/mo[1] for an IP? I know IPv4 is scarce, but i charge my customers $10/mo for SSL, and even that is a big markup on the $1/mo Linode charge me. I would honestly suggest going the VPS route to improve browser compatibility.<p>1. <a href="https://cloud.google.com/pricing/" rel="nofollow">https://cloud.google.com/pricing/</a>
We have a bunch of sites that are almost entirely static, but have a php "contact us" email form. Right now they are some bloated PHP CMS thing, and I would really like to switch them over to being static. Does anyone know of a cheap service that provides a form to send email we could have our contact form POST to?
