What hosting setup is ideal for Simply Static? As I read through the questions I\u0027m getting the impression that if I use Simply Static for my site it might be best for me to consider Cloudflare or similar instead of current hosting provider.

It depends a bit on the website, how convenient the setup should be, and the pricing.\u000a\u000aHere is what I generally recommend:\u000a\u000aCloudflare Pages:\u000a\u000a\u002D Has by far the best free tier\u000a\u002D Is relatively easy to set up\u000a\u002D most people already have a Cloudflare account (so you don\u0027t have to sign up for anything new)\u000a\u000aNetlify:\u000a\u000a\u002D good free tier\u000a\u002D one of the easiest to set up\u000a\u002D It has other neat features (webhooks for forms, a simple analytics solution, etc.).\u000a\u000aBunnyCDN:\u000a\u000a\u002D no free tier but extremely cheap\u000a\u002D easy to set up (also a direct integration in Simply Static without GitHub)\u000a\u002D suitable for media\u002Dheavy websites as the \u0022CDN\u0022 part is already included\u000a\u000aAWS S3:\u000a\u000a\u002D no free tier but extremely cheap\u000a\u002D quite hard to set up (easy to export, but setting up DNS, CORS, and caching is quite complicated)\u000a\u000aHowever, you can also start with your current hosting provider to learn everything about \u0022static\u0022 before deciding to go with one of the mentioned providers.\u000a\u000aKeep it easy at first and switch when needed \u002D once Simply Static is configured, you can also quickly test different hosting options (most of them offer temporary domains for previews) to quickly compare them before making a decision :\u002D)
