Definitely look into something like S3 + CloudFront, or Netlify if you don't want to set any of that up yourself.


Yes, S3 + CloudFront. I host a bunch of domains, including few whose properties/IP/company was acquired. The monthly for the static hosting is less than a dollar a month.

Cloudflare > CloudFront + S3 (sometimes just S3 responding to Cloudflare's request). I could have done Route53 but I've lots of other domains managed by Cloudflare.

I have a single instance Jekyll setup that spits out a bunch of index.html files for all the domains, including my primary personal[1]. To automate further, the setup runs within a few NPM modules, and gulp does the compile and build. When I need to change/update something, I let it build and then deploy to the primary S3 Bucket. The deployment is done with the S3_website[2] Gem.

Been running this setup for over 3 years or so. I can strip away everything and just stay with the minimal Jekyll setup and manually upload the files.
