If only GitHub Pages supported SSL on custom domains. That's the only thing holding me back from SSL on my personal site.

I've got a custom domain (personal site) backed by GH pages, and it's got SSL.

Enjoy!

Ah yes I had thought about that in the past, but it always seemed like a bit of a hack to me. But seeing that post from CloudFlare itself makes it seem a bit more legit! I think I'll go for it, thanks!

Hi Evan, you could try GitLab Pages

Otherwise, AWS EC2 on a t2.micro is free for a period and then pretty minimal after that.
