Is there a “back to the basics” company or offering for hosting static sites that is essentially what Netlify was when it launched?

GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, Render.com's static hosting, probably others?

Just get a $5 digital ocean droplet and throw nginx on it. All the static hosting in the world at your fingertips.

And all of the infrastructure management for free!!!!

[ilrwbwrkhv]

There is hardly any, if you are hosting static dirs. It's literally one file, the nginx.conf.

Caddy is even simpler.

Coolify is even simpler IMO after using Caddy.

If by simpler you mean there is literally zero content on the page:

    $ http https://coolify.io/
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    CDN-Cache: HIT
    CDN-PullZone: 355073
    CDN-RequestCountryCode: US
    CDN-RequestId: 196ca62f96058...
    CDN-Status: 200
    CDN-Uid: bb1c6a05-...
    Connection: keep-alive
    Content-Length: 0

I see the page, not sure if you have something blocking your connection, or the CDN near you is faulty.

[ilrwbwrkhv]

I agree. I am just used to nginx I guess.

I’ve been happy with Google’s Firebase Hosting. It’s confusing branding, but almost a drop in replacement. https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting

We use and swear by Opalstack.com, which is made by some of the same peeps that worked for the may-as-well-be-defunct Webfaction.

Full SSH access, generous limits, very active community.

Digital Ocean's App Platform looks to still do basic static sites at a reasonable rate (free for up to 3 sites). I've been a very happy App Platform customer, although not using static sites.

surge.sh is very very back to basics, and is amazing for small-ish static sites
