According to GAE's quotas page [1], free hosting of code and static files is only for the first 1GB. After that it is $0.13 per GB per month.

StartSSL is free?! Has anyone used them before? Are their certs widely accepted/trusted?
There are some restrictions. From wikipedia: While certificates are free for certain uses, there are limitations imposed unless an upgrade is purchased: - One-year validity. - One domain name per certificate. - One certificate per domain name. - No commercial use The last is probably a deal breaker for many sites.
Yes but you can renew for free.
This seems too good to be true. I have a need to store dozens of GBs of photos, and I can put them on GAE for free?

We have a bunch of sites that are almost entirely static, but have a php "contact us" email form. Right now they are some bloated PHP CMS thing, and I would really like to switch them over to being static. Does anyone know of a cheap service that provides a form to send email we could have our contact form POST to?
AppEngine would do this for free.

I have helped a friend who does small, static marketing sites. In addition to needing a server for only thing (forwarding contact forms), I've noticed that mail from the low-end shared hosting her clients generally choose is extremely unreliable. So I've wondered if there was a need a service exactly like this. However it seemed so basic I thought... nah. Is this a real pain point for enough people?
It is for me. I do mostly static sites for small business, and use embedded forms from jotform.com but would really prefer to be able simply to post the info to an external server which handles sending the email.
