## Notes

Surge publishes a folder of static files with one command and has done so, largely unchanged, since 2014. There is no dashboard to learn and no build step to configure: `surge` in a directory puts it on the web, with a custom domain and an SSL certificate for a surge.sh subdomain at no cost.

It reports 3.45 million projects and nearly 17 billion publishes, which for a tool with this little surface area is a good argument that most static hosting could be this simple. Paid plans exist for custom SSL and extra collaborators; the free tier is the product most people meet.

Regions are recorded as not applicable — files are served from Surge's own network and no location is offered as a choice.
