Is there a good alternative to github pages? I need just a static website up.

  • I have a domain.
  • I have my site (local machine)
  • And that's all I have.
  • I have a machine that could be running 24/7 too.

So, uh...

Digital Ocean Is pretty inexpensive at US$7 monthly for 1 vCPU/1GB RAM with 1TB transfer. Decent platform. US-based, alas.

Oracle Cloud will give you far more for free.

Oracle Cloud will also delete your shit for the price of admission.

Caveat emptor, hey?

Mine has been running for years now without any such deletions.
