Is Netlify a good service for hosting a static site? I'm curious because they will pull from Github when the site changes, so all I need to do to publish is push to Github. I'm looking for a place that won't grind to a halt under load.

I looked at Github pages and it won't work for me, so don't suggest that.

Or is there a way for my server to know when I pushed to github and pull and host it myself. I'd rather do that, but I haven't found a way.

Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious.

I had that set up once but then realized I can just push my built website files with sftp. Faster results with less in between steps that try to charge you

@baltauger I do that now. It's probably good enough.

@grumpygamer

I mean I do think Netlify+GitHub makes sense if it's a website that's being updated by different people potentially at the same time. In my case (blog updated monthlyish) it added more hassle than it saved
