Ask HN: Best host for a one-page website? I have a single HTML page that I want to put online. What's the best way to do so? I would like to keep it as cheap as possible. |

Also you can look at: - https://neocities.org/ is ad free and free
Then if you're willing to compromise a bit, these are easy and free:
- Wordpress if you want to post an article. It'll put spam on your page though.
- Google sites is a good wiki style solution for posting a few things up with a wysiwyg editor.
- If you don't want it to be an html page, there is also google docs and google drive so you can share an artifact.
You can deposit some money and if it doesn't get used, it just stays in the account, rather than an automatic cost per month.
Free hosting: https://pages.github.com/ – currently using for a couple of sites and it works very
Paid hosting: https://divshot.com/ – thinking of using for some sites – mainly because I can get https on a custom domain there, which I can't at GitHub Pages
1. Sign Up 2. Drag & Drop 3. Done
or you can use some service like pancake (pancake.io, currently i am getting 503 error though, not sure whether it is permanently down), my.droppages(my.droppages.com) etc.
An example of a site running on it: http://arthur-osx.com/
cheap: static s3 index.html
In GMail, click the tile icon > More > Even more from Google > scroll to Home & Office > Sites. From there you can create Google Sites for personal use.
But nothing web based - there's a little learning curve, but the forum support is fantastic.
I've never seen the need of a "specialized" program.
