Cloudsite
Low cost, high performance cloud based website hosting manager. Cloudsite features CDN integration, DoS protection, free SSL certificates, and support for contact forms. In addition, since Cloudsite uses AWS's "pay as you go" cloud infrastructure, hosting costs are generally free or well below typical market rates.
Refer to the Cloudsite homepage for additional documentation.

Installation
CLI installation
npm i -g cloudsite

All the peer dependencies are specific to the CLI, so if you're not using the CLI, you can omit them.
Usage
CLI usage
For initial setup, you must sign up for an AWS root account and then create a set of access keys. Once that's done, you can hand over everything else to Cloudsite.
cloudsite configuration setup-sso # setup single sign on (SSO) for increased security
cloudiste configuration setup-local # configure your local account
aws sso login --profile cloudsite-manager # authenticate with AWS SSO
# now deploy a website; you can deploy as many as you like
cloudsite create your-domain.com --source-path . # see 'Plugins' for additional options
cloudsite update your-domain.com # updates site content
cloudsite destroy your-domain.com # destroys site infrastructure
Refer to the homepage documentation for a complete CLI reference.
Library usage
import { create } from 'cloudsite'
const siteInfo = {
"apexDomain": "your-website-domain.com",
"sourceType": "docusaurus", // or 'vanilla'
"sourcePath": "/Users/your-home-dir/path/to/website/source"
"plugins": {
"contactHandler": {
"settings": {
"path": "/contact-handler",
"emailFrom": "[email protected]"
}
}
}
}
create({ siteInfo }) // siteInfo gets updated with additional info as the site is created
console.log('Final site info:\n' + JSON.stringify(siteInfo))
// you'll probably want to save 'siteInfo' somewhere for future operations on the same site
