I prefer this method over managing a server any day.

I loved geocities too, and I always wished I"d had a CORS backend to call from my HTML pages. I built a service specifically to be a CORS backend for neocities. You can signup, and start making CORS calls from your neocities pages to a sqlite database on my service. I tried several times to contact the owner of neocities about this but he never responded. Since then I implemented static file hosting and pivoted to a…
> You can signup, and start making CORS calls from your neocities pages to a sqlite database on my service. If I'm understanding what you're trying to do, this isn't on our end. Neocities currently doesn't prevent sites from making API calls to other servers - that's on your HTTP server's side, you control that. Occasionally I get requests to allow HTML hosted on Neocities to make API calls directly to Neocities itse…

Thank you, I'm one of those impossible customers who goes "oh I want a free tier, and oh, I don't like node, and oh, I don't want to give you access to my Gitlab", but it's great that you have a Go version of the client. I think I'm going to switch everything to you, I've been wanting to for a while!
awesome to hear! I'm the guy you'll talk to if you have a support question, so I hope to not hear from you soon (since that would mean that everything worked as expected :))
I'm amazed at how fast the site is now: https://portfolio.stavros.io/
RamNode: 128MB RAM 15GB storage, $15/year. Cheapest I have found yet for a tiny VPS. Perfect for static pages, but a little bit of PHP might be fine.
I'm still using Dreamweaver 8 and pushing the site to a server as static files. Unfortunately, Dreamweaver 8's static SFTP doesn't work any more, due to some Microsoft-forced change in Windows 7.

Not that many admittedly, about 10k requests from 1.5k unique users in the past month. With that said 10m requests would still only come out at $4 so it's still a good choice for most low traffic sites.
I just checked one article on my WordPress to have a point of comparison. That's 87 requests total and 4.7 MB. The first page of HN (and reposts) will bring over 100k views in the month. Either I'm crazy, or that's about 1M HTTP requests and 500 GB of traffic to serve u_u Serving that over S3 or CloudFront would be $45 (mostly traffic charge). OMG. Definitely not a bill i want for my personal blog. That's a great ide…
now I self host with failover to s3.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't understand why you need the S3 if you're already hosting it on github pages.
Sorry about the confusion. The source[0] is hosted on Github, but the actual page when compiled to static files is hosted on S3. 0: https://github.com/k0nserv/hugotunius.se

You have a static IP?
You can use a client to update the record of your dynamic IP. I don't know if that's what he's doing, but it's in all the Pi web hosting tutorials.
