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.

@grumpygamer digital ocean has a thing (I think it’s apps) where for free (for the first 3 apps) you can connect a GitHub repo and they will publish it for you, take care of the certificate etc.

I have it listening to the public directory of my Hugo site on main branch. So every time I push an updated build on main, within a minute or 2 it’s live.

Very simple to set up and is free. The disadvantage is you need to build locally, and have the public also in your repo.
