Ask HN: heroku-like service for static websites?
I'm constantly building new static sites, deployed using github pages (not enough control over my sites, goes down easily) and s3 (pain in the ass generally). I now need a better option because everything i find is FTP deploy which is lame. I want git or some other cross platform cli & gui way to deploy. Any suggestions?

We're building a backend using Docker that can do just that. It's called octohost and there's lots of information available here: http://www.octohost.io/
We have a static template that you can see here: https://github.com/octohost/html
You can also use all sorts of other languages/frameworks - a full list is here: http://www.octohost.io/languages
Deploys use git.

We're building http://www.divshot.io/ to be exactly this. Currently in private beta and will be launching soon (in fact, anyone who sees this just shoot us an email and we'll let you in).

You can use heroku to host static website. Although it's a hack, but very simple and should not be a problem.

Use a single-dino Heroku to receive the latest push and have the dino deploy the appropriate folders to S3 for you?
I don't know of an existing way to do that but it would be a negligible amount of code + amazon sdk in most languages.

Why is FTP lame? It works. Just select your folder, FTP it, go get some coffee, and wa-la, it's up!
