Europe enters the static file hosting space.

Meanwhile, Europe's most promising aerospace company just left for USA.

I'm using this for my mother's website (https://www.touchofglass.eu/), and my only complaint is that it assumes you version a website in a Git repository. You can work around it by uploading a tarball or something like that, but it is far less convenient than using sftp/rsync. But considering that we are far into the free 10GB a month and I only have to update it very infrequently, it seemed like the best solution.

I’m a happy OVH user, their free static hosting (part of their paid domain service) is enough for my needs. I’ve been using that platform for more than 10 years now. At the same time I like that there are more alternatives.

How does it compare to neocities.org, which is sadly not EU?

Looked cool at first, but that FreeSewing logo scared me away.

Does it automatically generate a TLS certificate? I didn't find documentation about that, just that you can setup your own domain.

Seems really cool!

Doesn’t say anything about how much of storage is offered for any plan.

Swedish company, nice.

But "European values" seems to be a non-statement.

Doesn't European also possibly mean St. Petersburg, Malta, Cyprus, Istanbul, Greenland, or Switzerland? I.e. being not the same as EU hosting?

The 9€/mo price point seems weird, considering its "just" static hosting and i can get a decently sized VPS for that money (yes, also from a EU host).

OT: is Cloudflare not offering Pages anymore?

I logged into CF dashboard the other day and was super confused because it appears to be replaced by Workers.

No /cgi-bin/ directory? I am disappointed. ;-) Greetz to Sweden!

> 100 build minutes

Er, what? A static site has no build on server.
