Long time customer as well and found out about this here on HN. I had $4 or $5 left as well but I guess it’s gone. My site is still up for the moment so if I care to save it I’ll move it.

Might just be the end of the road for that site as I’m not about to spend more than $12/year to keep it going.

I used wget to render my old MediaWiki setup into a static site, and then threw it on vercel.

If you don't want to maintain a legacy app liable to be compromised, going static using wget + a few scripts is a lovely trick.

No maintenance, no pain, and free hosting :)

I personally doubt static websites will go out of fashion anytime soon.

Jekyl and Gatsby are pretty amazing. Got involved in a project at work that uses Gatsby underneath and once you get used to all the node.js/dependency BS it's actually fun.
