Offtopic: How do I get that github.io type hosting for my own bitbucket account? I didn't know it was possible.

Edit: It's as mixmastamyk says. I created a repo called 'achshar.bitbucket.org' and it works.

You can use the Aerobatic add-on for Bitbucket

https://www.aerobatic.com/

SSL, custom domains, static generator auto-builds, etc.

I'm an Atlassian engineer & heavy Aerobatic user. It's very nicely integrated with Bitbucket, and has great support for Jekyll, Hugo, and arbitrary npm builds. It also has some advantages over github.io like being able to deploy multiple feature branches from the same repository to separate sites, so you can have separate "staging" and "production" versions.

It is a paid offering, though you get two repositories free, and is very pretty reasonably priced beyond that.

You make a repo with the same name as the your user account and domain, e.g. user.bitbucket.org
I already have such a repo. But I would reckon the repo needs to be open source right? What if I would like to host all my open source repos on that subdomain?

Oh ok, it needs to be the entire url 'user.bitbucket.org'.

Don't believe there are restrictions, but only one repo resides at that url. Put in an index.html and it should be viewable by browser.
It doesn't need to be open source, no. It will host anything in the repo as static content, even if the repo is private.
