I'm moving from OpenBSD to Netlify. Why?
Simple answer: I'm too busy to think about the means and ends of an full OS installation just to serve a basic static blog/site. I'm a student now and I need to tend for my job and family besides my masters course witch, by itself, is very demanding.
Why can't I keep my site running as usual if it's a simple task? Convenience and I can save a few bucks in the process :)
Finally, why Netlify? Because it's free, easy to setup and deploy. I already used them when oracle messed up with my server and it was easy to come back. If I find some solution that suits me better, I'll happily change.
The thing is that now I'm happy with the services that I used to host witch I found good solutions out there (I'm looking at you, bsd.cafe) and I'm satisfied to be an user again ;).
