I got quite excited at being able to stick my static sites on DO for free, but notice on this page[1] that only the first three are free, then it's $3/m/site.

Perhaps I've been spoiled by services like Netlify. I'd be interested to know what the benefits are of using DO's service over free alternatives.

Why not just use github pages for static sites?

I might do in the future. To be honest, Github Pages has not been on my radar until I saw the recent article posted here with benchmarks across popular static site hosts.

I'll have to look at the benefits of that over Netlify, too.
