Ask HN: Hosting for My Startup’s Website

1 points by jetcata 6 years ago | 4 comments

It seems like every time I create a new website landing page I have to start researching options from scratch.

What do you use to host a basic landing page for your app or startup?

SquareSpace is excellent. For a static, informational site, I don't see any reason to build it from scratch, set up hosting, etc. You have more important things to do than reinvent the wheel for a marketing website.

If you insist on doing it yourself, uploading a static site to S3 and putting CloudFront in front of it is incredibly easy, inexpensive, and performant.

For static files, Firebase Hosting is great too. Easier than S3 + CloudFront , just a firebase deploy inside your project. Also, you can undo versions from their dashboard. In addition, easy integration with your domain.

You can use wpengine.com to build a quick site with WordPress that has all the features you're going to want.
