   Looking for some good, ethical hosting for a static site (no backend; just JS on the front). Sick of Netlify and its bandwidth limits / threats. No CI needed, I don't think. Just drag and drop the folder into place?

     @heydon Likely overkill/not as performant as could be for a static site but let me know if you’d like to take this as an opportunity to play with Kitten and see how it holds up. Deployment would be via git push to your repo and I can set you up on a small-web.org subdomain and you can then point whatever domain you want from it from Kitten’s settings. Again: (a) won’t be as performant as a fine-tuned static site server, (b) not sure how it’ll hold up under load but willing to test it if you are. Will repost your post anyway so others can suggest perhaps more suitable options :)

     @heydon (One positive would be if you ever wanted to add server-side functionality, Kitten makes it very simple to do with basic JS and even includes an in-process JS database.)
