Thanks for posting this! My website is currently down and I'm in the process of fixing it.


2020 and it’s still takes work to keep a website up, even if it’s simple. I feel your pain.


How are you hosting this?


HostPapa. I contacted them and they said it was a problem with their server, so I can't do anything about it sadly.


Yeah, imho, make something that generates static pages and then you have any host of options with (nearly) infinite scale -- s3/cloudfront, etc. And it's still pretty simple.


Since it looks like it's just GatsbyJS client, may I suggest GitHub Pages?


That's a good idea, in the beginning I had no idea how hosting works so I just went with HostPapa, but now I am considering switching.


I can highly recommend Github pages, which I use for https://blog.jeaye.com/

The HN hug of death has never brought it down, since Github handles all of the scaling.


If you use gh-pages [1], then it's as simple as `gh-pages -d public`.

I actually recommend Gitlab pages. I prefer their allowance of private repos. I made a guide [1] on how to switch from Github to Gitlab pages. I use Gitlab for my static sites and Github for my source.

Email hn@ycombinator.com and they will change the link on the post


I think it's working now.


Really making your own case, huh?
