> Host a static website the HN way

Gatekeeping alert!

Fortunately, there is more than one way to do things. I've been in HN for a while now and I don't do any of this. I was doing it when I wanted to learn, but now I need to get a project launched without any burden so I deploy it to ZEIT Now which is not the same as OP, but you get the idea.

You realize he was being sarcastic right?

Nope. It's really hard to distinguish these days!

How is that "without any burden"? That's paying somebody else to take that burden for you, buying into their non-standard tooling, and hoping that they outlast whatever project you are hosting.

You pay for convenience. Someone else takes care of the server. I pay them $5 per month for the site/app I pay $15 for the database in other place and I charge +$150/hour while I work in something else instead of dealing with the server. That's without any burden.
