You could also use Netlify, which is free.

I will likely create some tutorials around Netlify as well. I haven't used them much but it looks like a decent service.

Sounds cool. I would love for you to go into depth about the more advanced features like Functions and Identity. I think most people see Netlify as just a static website host, even though it has a lot more features.

Yeah, it's also much easier to setup. This article is a good in-depth guide on setting up a Hugo blog on Digital Ocean, but if you're building a static site then you'll save a bunch of time and money using Netlify or Zeit.

I've seen a lot of people talking about Netlify but I don't totally get what the offer. I've seen Zeit but have no idea static content could be hosted there
