Seems like overkill for just a static site. I'd rather upload my assets somewhere and have it served out of the box than configuring and securing a web server for arguably negligible benefit.
Which service do you use to host static website?

#12Netlify Mostly for the simple SSL setup.
Same! Struggled with github pages at one point but Netlify really just made it a two command process to get a site up with SSL. I love it!

#13GitLab pages but for no particular reason... I use Hugo and want HTTPS on a custom domain so that seemed to be an easy way to do it. Only problem is that GitLab does not redirect to the HTTPS version automatically.
I might try Netlify some day if it's as easy as GitLab + has custom HTTPS domains for free.

#15S3 and Cloudfront, with recurring Lambda to update Let’s Encrypt TLS certs.
FYI ACM certificates are free [0], and will be automatically rotated. I use Hugo + S3 + CloudFront + ACM cert for SSL.

#16Big fan of GitHub Pages + Cloudflare.
After you've set it up once, subsequent projects are effortless.
I've also experimented with injecting CircleCI into the mix to do custom build steps outside of what's supported by GitHub Pages.

#17I use Firebase Hosting, it's pretty simple, but I also use other Firebase Services.

#18I used to do Google Storage + Cloudflare before.
Switched to Netlify for a couple of projects and loving it.

Re: Which service do you use to host static website?
#20I’d like to add to the question a further question: which one would be best in the situation where I want to regenerate the static page programmatically? So basically something running on a server somewhere will run periodically (probably on a trigger) and deploy a new copy of the static page to the proposed host. So the question is which host has the best platform for that kind of rapid deployment? Hoping not to use FTP for example.
