Between Netlify, Vercel and bigger providers like Cloudflare and AWS, there are plenty of companies trying to own static websites.
After R2, I have a feeling Cloudflare will come up with a competitor soon and swallow the entire market.

We have a really excellent team building Pages, and we still think there's a lot of unexplored territory around Pages/Jamstack and how it interacts with serverless and edge functions. Exciting times!
Netlify and Vercel are outstanding solutions. But they are not a cloud and I don’t see viability beyond acquisition. Lots of developers using free stuff is great, but only if you can monetize it. Cloudflare has been around a long time, has proven they can monetize and seem to be the emerging “developer cloud” leader.
I liked Vercel but their account mgmt exec told me that it will cost '000s of $ p.m.
I'm going for a personal VM right now. I'm assuming it can easily host lots of sites. Not sure but I may be in for lots of surprises if the scaling ever happens.
Would be happy to know from more any experienced folks.
