I use instapage.com. They are the least expensive out of the landing page builder solutions with a/b testing out there. Wix is a way cheaper option. The cheapest option is probably wordpress. You can buy landing page theme for wordpress on themeforest.net. Good luck.

Instapage is excellent. Fast, reliable, high quality, easy to cancel when you move on.

It's worth the extra few bucks for the time you'll save.

I've used unbounce before. currently use wufoo.com for my form designer. Currently, I host my own sites on a virtual server. I have a reseller account with http://webecs.com/ and I have about 10 domains I work with at a time. kill the least productive.

I've used Unbounce before too (and it was a good experience). I host things in Azure myself now, but Unbounce has a lot more features.

Squarespace looks nice too ( https://www.squarespace.com/ ). There's an YC backed company that does something of the sort too.

You can setup a landing page on Gitlab Pages with a custom domain and email capture form (and ssl, if you want) for free.

Example: http://albanybusiness.org (all on gitlab pages with a capture form using mailerlite)

Here's how to do the setup:

I use Hugo with one of the pre-made themes. I've done this with ~7-8 sites now.

Edit: readability

What do the various static site hosts offer in terms of analytics?

I can always add in some javascript analytics, but with the prevalence of ad-blockers and tracker-blockers it would be nice to have to some analytics coming from server logs to help create a complete picture.
