Ask HN: Where do you host your static site?

I know this is a bit embarrassing to ask in 2016, but I really want to follow through on my resolution to set up a personal website. I want to use Cryogen / Emacs to generate the HTML and then maybe cross post to Posthaven and Medium.

I'm considering github or gitlab pages. Or perhaps Digital Ocean. I'd like to use letsencrypt or another solution so that everything is passed over HTTPS as well. I can tolerate a hosting fee of maybe $5 a month, but would prefer free. Hence my interest in git{hub|lab}. Am I missing anything? What has worked for everyone else?
