1108267 - Static file (documentation) hosting recommendation?

Status: NEW

Description

[Simon Sapin (:SimonSapin)]

http://doc.servo.org/ is currently hosted on GitHub Pages, but HTTPS (which really should be everywhere nowadays) is not supported together with a custom domain. Could you recommend another hosting solution? Requirements are:

* Hosting a large-ish number of small-ish static files. (doc.servo.org is currently 35946 files totaling 829 MB uncompressed or 81 MB compressed.)
* Custom domain name / subdomain
* HTTPS support, preferably with HSTS and redirecting from HTTP
* Automatable updates (from continuous integration servers. Could be git-push, rsync, POSTing a ZIP file over HTTPS, …)
* Support frequent-ish updates (on every commit), so incremental/differential updates would probably be better

GitHub Pages is free of charge, but this is not a requirement.

One possibility is renting a server and doing it ourselves, but I’d like to know if other solutions exist that I haven’t heard of.
