I am really enjoying Now's perspective for better static site hosting. It serves via CDN, instantly provides SSL, easy deployment via a cli and has rollbacks when needed.

Yeah, it seems like a very polished app. However, they seem to need you to install nodejs to be able to use it. Which I guess is not such a big issue as most people use it for some kind of asset munging.

Nope, you don't need nodejs anymore!

From zeit.co/download :

We offer pre-built binaries of now(1) for 64 bit systems. They even work on devices without Node.js installed!

That is really nice. Really makes it easier for non js folks :)
