Just wow. I'm thinking about pulling my personal Jekyll site hosted off GitHub pages and host somewhere else. Not sure about the alternatives though, with custom domain support. Ah well, a nice weekend task.
One option is to host the repo on Bitbucket and use the Aerobatic (https://www.aerobatic.com) static hosting add-on. Free custom domain and more, included.
disclaimer - I'm one of the founders of Aerobatic.
Thanks, I already stumbled upon Aerobatic and it's in Todo list for trying it out :] One thing though, is it possible to use a naked domain ? Although I could use CloudFlare which supports ALIAS records.
