now.sh could be an option, too: https://stacked-website-fifvgqqjdf.now.sh

Sounds interesting!

if i may suggest: netlify all the way!

• free
• can handle forms
• 100% static and CDN out-of-the-box
• builds your website on git push (any shell command, like compiling the less file)
• the above works on any branch (the team can preview changes before merging)

(not affiliated, it's just really amazing)

update:

well, guess it's already implemented in #43 😂

@marionebl should we try this out instead of zeit.co?

[marionebl]

Sure, let's give netlify a shot.

@leonardodino we didn’t get the zeit.co alias running, so let’s try netlify. Thanks for the recommendation! 🚀

If Netlify doesn't work, another option is surge.sh. Not sure if it suits your needs but, it can deploy static websites just by typing surge into the command line. It also gives you unlimited subdomains with SSL at .surge.sh and it's free.

Also, not affiliated, just really like it.

@tilmx If you need any help, just @ me!

It's pretty straightforward anyways, login with GitHub and link this repo with it.
Additionally I let it manage the DNS, it allows better CDN routing on the bare/root domain.

PS: I advise against the deploy, script for full CI experience.
There's an easy but old tutorial that's still valid. Easier than the docs (:

surge.sh is super nice also, i used it a lot before discovering netlify... but the integrated CI in netlify means you won't need travis and mangling with deploy credentials.
if it fails a build it will notify here on the repo, the same way as travis.

Netlify seems to be really nice, thanks for your recommendation!
I tried it, but was running into huge problems with the SSL certificates (refused it because of "bad DNS"). Will try it later again.

Works fine with Netlify now! Thank you very much for suggesting the services and supporting, @leonardodino & @MaxShalom! 🚀
