Ask HN: Best host for a one-page website?

38 pointsby nahcubalmost 10 years ago
I have a single HTML page that I want to put online. What's the best way to do so? I would like to keep it as cheap as possible.

I&#x27;ll echo: - Github Pages<p>Also you can look at: - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;neocities.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;neocities.org&#x2F;</a> is ad free and free<p>Then if you&#x27;re willing to compromise a bit, these are easy and free:<p>- Wordpress if you want to post an article. It&#x27;ll put spam on your page though.<p>- Google sites is a good wiki style solution for posting a few things up with a wysiwyg editor.<p>- If you don&#x27;t want it to be an html page, there is also google docs and google drive so you can share an artifact.

Github pages is a great way to go, you basically push to a branch called &quot;gh-pages&quot; and a file in the root called CNAME with the domain and you&#x27;re done.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pages.github.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pages.github.com&#x2F;</a>

You can do something with your own custom domain and dirt cheap rates with <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nearlyfreespeech.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nearlyfreespeech.net&#x2F;</a><p>You can deposit some money and if it doesn&#x27;t get used, it just stays in the account, rather than an automatic cost per month.

I&#x27;m voting Amazon S3. Super cheap, scalable, and easy to set up &amp; maintain

I haven&#x27;t used this service in a VERY long time, but you can give NearlyFreeSpeech.NET a shot. They offer free hosting. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nearlyfreespeech.net" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nearlyfreespeech.net</a>

I believe Github Pages is right for you. It is free.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pages.github.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pages.github.com&#x2F;</a>

My impression:<p>Free hosting: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pages.github.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pages.github.com&#x2F;</a> – currently using for a couple of sites and it works very<p>Paid hosting: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;divshot.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;divshot.com&#x2F;</a> – thinking of using for some sites – mainly because I can get https on a custom domain there, which I can&#x27;t at GitHub Pages

Tumblr will probably work very well. HTML and CSS is fully customizable. You don&#x27;t need to form your &quot;theme&quot; in a blogish fashion. Connecting a domain is free.

Checkout <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;surge.sh" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;surge.sh</a>. Free, production grade CDN, easy-peasy CLI integration, one command deploys.

As others have mentioned AWS S3 is a good way to put a static page - not just a one-page website but everything that does not require a server side language - online. Additionally and IIRC without significantly increasing your bill you can put AWS CloudFront in front of your S3 bucket and you get a CDN nearly for free.

You can use Dropbox for hosting. If you have got a &quot;public&quot; folder, copy the HTML file into it and get a direct link.<p>or you can use some service like pancake (pancake.io, currently i am getting 503 error though, not sure whether it is permanently down), my.droppages(my.droppages.com) etc.

Honestly a push CDN zone like Cloudfront or <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.keycdn.com&#x2F;pricing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.keycdn.com&#x2F;pricing</a> is what I&#x27;d suggest. Its not <i>free</i> but its pretty close. $1&#x2F;month unless its super busy.

Github pages are awesome, but I also encourage you to check out <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;surge.sh&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;surge.sh&#x2F;</a>

Github pages works really well.<p>An example of a site running on it: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arthur-osx.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arthur-osx.com&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;m a big fan of divshot.io for this sort of thing. Easier to set up than the other suggestions and they&#x27;ve got a free tier.

Openshift has free tier. It works similar to Heroku. The downside is that it is likely overkill for a one page site.

Blogger and appengine both have ways to do this, depending on whether you prefer a gui or a command line.
