#52Just to point out, there's no particular reason to host a page like this on a VPS at all. You could just throw it on S3. Even better, you could put it behind a CDN like Cloudfront and the total cost would be a dollar or two a month, not $25+ and it would be significantly faster.
Or even better, Surge.sh. - A very happy customer.
Been using Surge.sh recently and it's super awesome, but I'm not sure I'd use it for production. Care to elaborate?

It enforces a set of rules to accelerate web pages. These rules can be used to validate your pages.

It's system dependent.
On windows you can do alt+numpad 2022
On whatever is handling input for this XFCE system, control+shift+U 2022+Enter types it.

I apologize for quibbling (really, I do! but I'm an infrastructure guy! This is my bag!). Yes, host it on S3, but ALWAYS put a CDN in front of S3 with long cache times (even just Cloudfront works).
