This has been the third major outage for Netlify in the last few weeks. I like the company, they have good people on their team, and their interface and functionality is great (deploy previews are so nice!). But this is probably the last straw, as the static portion of our company's website has been down for 45 minutes now. Fortunately, the beauty of a static site is they're quite easy to host anywhere. We're already…
You should checkout Cloudflare Pages. For static stuff it’s a dream to setup, and you get previews out of the box.
The static site in question for us lives at the apex record (mywebsite.com), so it's generally not possible for other providers to do this without having them manage our entire DNS infrastructure, which we aren't willing to do.
In fact I think this is part of why we've had so many issues with Netlify. It's clear their preferred way to host apex domain sites is to manage the DNS completely.
