Where do you host your static sites?

So far I've used just Github pages and Netlify, tho I've heard of other alternatives like Firebase, Vercel, Google Cloud Storage, Surge and Render.

Where do you host your static sites and why?

Github, as it's easy to use.. I manage all my code there, so it's easy just to create static sites from there.. #lazy :D

I make sense to push code and deploy on the same place 😉
Simple and most importantly works just fine 😉

I've heard a lot of great stuff on it 😉
What about the learning curve on S3? 👀

GitHub Pages, I wrote about it but to put it short I use Publish and GitHub publishing is baked in.

Vercel, because it was the first one I came across and has been awesome so far

First it was Now.sh, then it was called Zeit, now it's called Vercel...and in the transition from Zeit to Vercel they removed serverful hosting!

Despite this hangup, I do like their UI.

What do you mean by serverful? Is it not possible to run your app serverless?
