Alternative to github pages? (reddthat.com)

Is there a good alternative to github pages? I need just a static website up.

I have a domain.
I have my site (local machine)
And that's all I have.
I have a machine that could be running 24/7 too.

I have not deployed Garage S3, but it has a static pages feature you could use — just buid your static files with jekyl or something, create a bucket and set the permissions.

I built this for my personal use: https://git.prisma.moe/aichan/simple_web_editor

Any of https://staticsitegenerators.bevry.me/
Any webserver + virtualhost config that serves plain HTML pages
a build/upload script

Digital Ocean's app platform offers a toer tier to deploy static sites from Github and a few other places.

If you want free static hosting then probably: https://wasmer.io/

If you have the machine at home then you could set up port forwarding to it, but you would need to do everything yourself like:

running a web server like nginx
setting up ssl for it with certbot
storing the static files in /var/www/html for example
port forwarding from your router to that machine
using some service like DuckDNS to point a domain to your dynamic IP at home
pointing a CNAME to the DuckDNS subdomain on your domain
