This is a quick tutorial of what I think is currently the best option for hosting static websites, within a Google Cloud Storage bucket with HTTPS provided by Cloudflare!

There are many ways to host a static website, but in my opinion, none can compete with this one in terms of simplicity, scalability, and affordability (it's practically free!).

Yes, I actually bought that domain, and the website is live 😁:
`REDACTED LINK BECAUSE I NO LONGER OWN THE DOMAIN`

Verifying domain ownership for GCS bucket creation:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/ver... (google domains)
https://cloud.google.com/identity/doc... (any domain provider)

Why does a static site even need HTTPS?
