#32Sort of related and shameless plug but I'm building a "comments as a service" application that isn't disqus. My first target market is static sites. Check it out here: http://www.remarkbox.com
Can I tack on a shameless plug too?
For people who like Jekyll but want multiple sites with the same code base:
https://github.com/sumdog/jekyll-multisite/
It's pretty alpha and I'm currently working on a full set of test cases so I can merge in some incoming pull requests. But I use it for all my sites.

#33I'm very surprised that Sphinx wasn't listed. It powers readthedocs.org and is generally very popular for software documentation.
huh...I would have never through to classify Sphinx as a static site generator, but it is.
I think it's just the context of it being used mostly for API docs and tutorials that it's overlooked.

#35I've been using wintersmith (http://wintersmith.io) to power my blog for years and am very happy with it. It's incredibly flexible, is hackable at just about every level, and has no problem if you just want to dump some html/css/js into a directory and serve it. So I'm able to "host" several of my projects right within my blog.

S3 works really nicely. I'm building my Octopress-based site using snap-ci (free for public builds). It was fairly straightforward to configure for use with S3 and you can run just about anything you want on it.

#37Are there any real differentiating factors or are there so many because they're so easy to do? I built a custom one for a client once for no real reason.

I rsync the files to a server where nginx serves them. The smallest server option at your VPS of choice will be plenty, particularly if your site is reasonably lean or less than mega-popular.

If you want to use sell hosted, use nginx on Joyent - you can get a 128M container for $2.16/m
Then if your site becomes famous - drop cloud flare in front.
