This is great -- it has a killer feature that I think GitHub Pages is sorely missing (unless it exists and I'm just ignorant to the fact). Custom domains WITH SSL.

Right now I have my custom domain set up on GitHub, but it's not SSL. I would love to be able to do that.

Just for reference—you can achieve this if you run your site behind CloudFlare. I run my own blog this way.

Do you have to hand over your private keys for that?

This is awesome. One question I have in comparison to GitHub Pages is if a global CDN is used and if there is effective DDOS protection built in. GitHub has to deal with regular DDOS attacks, and I imagine GitLab will have a few too. GitHub does a pretty good job with it, but before I move to GitLab Pages I'd like to understand that better but didn't see that info anywhere.

Dear lord these guys are putting in work. I'm not exactly a huge supporter of Github (the company not the product) so I'm very glad to see it. I look forward to their continued growth.

You do but you would likely make a new key for this specific domain so you don't have to hand over any important keys.

Clourfare provides free SSL - just proxy through them.

I really like GitLab, we use it and they follow the business model I wish GitHub had. But as they become bigger and bigger I have to wonder how much longer until they start antagonizing GitHub with these feature clones, and who should have my support when that day comes.
