FWIW, if all you have is a truly static website (html, css, and js), then GitHub Pages is free and you can point a custom domain there from your registrar, and don't have to worry about backups or server uptime.

Unless GH has another database oopsie.

no worries, cloud providers have oopsies of their own.

Less oopsie-whoopsies than I would DIY, either way.

I wasn't aware of the Github pages being free that's neat. It is fully static (running on nginx but generated with hugo) and I use freedns.afraid.org for the domains. Good to know thanks for the tip :)

And if you want a private repo, you can also use gitlab and point to custom domain with gitlab pages or cloudflare pages.
