Neat. I'm an extremely happy customer of Surge.sh. Good to see other options in that space.


Thanks for the props! For those who don't know https://surge.sh is single command static hosting serving over 28k projects.


+1 on Surge

Is now the new Nodejitsu?


Still waiting to hear back about pricin/subscription for zeit's now

No, I mean I've actually emailed to subscribe and they replied with

How is this different than, say:

    python -m SimpleHTTPServer


It's exactly the same, just running on a host, publicly accessible.


So it's the same as:

    python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 && ngrok http 8000


As I understand it, it runs the app on their server, not on your local machine.


Oh interesting, thanks


`micro-list` is more comparable to that, which we just open-sourced: https://github.com/zeit/micro-list


Simple static server + ngrok


How does dns work with now?


We're introducing `now alias` to handle any alternative domains to the links you receive :)
