#42I wouldn't consider WordPress (and most other blog systems) static? But for real static hosting I preferre AWS S3.

#45I'm a great self-hosting fan, behind my DSL connection using 2 x RaspberryPI. I have 3 static web sites, 2 with Jekyll, 1 with Hugo, with great perf :
checkout webpagetest -> https://www.webpagetest.org/result/161123_0R_8RDY/
and feel free to check my 3 web sites:
- http://www.it-wars.com - http://www.louer-hendaye.com - http://www.nodejs-news.com
Init : 2 RaspberryPi + electric plugs : 2x 30$ + 2 x6$ Monthly bill: electricity : about nothing DSL : 30$
Enjoy!

#46Wordpress.com or Blogger.com Fully operational, all the important stuff (text editors, analytics, pictures hosting...), nice themes, well indexed by google, zero maintenance, free, and unlimited traffic. I run blogs so obviously it is particularly appropriate. But that works as well for small static sites with a couple pages.

Hosted by wordpress.com of course.
Self hosting wordpress is a nightmare. I wouldn't wish that to my worst enemy.

#48StockDroids.com is hosted on S3 and served using Cloudfront. It's pretty easy to get going if you don't mind getting a little technical.
Not sure how price compares to the competition, though. HN's + /r/Android's front pages resulted in about 13K uniques and it ended up costing me ~$10 (which is insanely cheap, but GitHub + Cloudfront is free...)
Edit: I should mention that the site isn't as light it can be, currently stands at 473kb of code and about 3 megs of images. So that $10 is for ~45 gigs of traffic.

#49For static sites I used to use surge [0], but now I use Neltify [1] for my site [2], because it offers free SSL on your own domain, and continuous deployment from a GitHub or Gitlab repository. You can set your own build options, for example to build Jekyll. (I have no affiliation with Netlify I just think their service is neat.)

netlify looks great, and the free tier covers probably 90% of what all SMEs need. I'm curious, where are the sites actually hosted? Does netlify provide the actual hosting or they allow you to setup deployment to a VPS? Also if netlify does the hosting, how good is their uptime/availability?
+1 for Netlify. Have a dozen or so production sites there currently and am a happy customer.
