Ask HN: Good (read: cheap) CDN for static site hosting?

4 pointsbradhe2 comments

Hey all. I've got a Jekyll + Backbone app with a Golang backend that I've been working on. What are some options for deploying the compiled jekyll app? CloudFront, CloudFlare, etc. are a bit spendy (especially considering I'd like to include SSL). Custom domain would be a big +1.

Any suggestions, or am I dreamin'?

Do you require dedicated IPs and a customer cert? If not CloudFront has free HTTPS SNI support and a free tier of 50GB & 2,000,000 HTTP(S) requests per month. So that would be your own domain name, your own ssl cert, and 2M requests per month for $0.

Why do you say CloudFlare is spendy? If you are just hosting static assets (images, javascript, css, html, etc) than you can do this with their free plan.

If SSL a must have, their base level $20/mo plan offers this.
