Curious to know where the HN community hosts their static websites. If there's an option missing, leave a comment and I'll add it.

I host http://blog.omgmog.net on GitHub pages, but I also use Jekyll to generate a bunch of static websites that I serve with Apache from my VPS.

Dreamhost. Probably there are better options now, but I have the account.

I've been using recently launched http://fjords.cc . Fjords paired with DNSimple.com has been a dream setup compared to what I previously used (Amazon S3 with Godaddy for domains).

I find Github to be the best option out there (the only thing I'd like to see is a method to leverage caching). Plus it allows you to make the website "open source" (which is the case for most of what I put up).

Please, add "Other shared hosting" - otherwise we would need thousands of options. I personally use servage.net
