1MB v3

Maker

Hello everybody! My name is Dalton Edwards and I initially launched this project as "1MB" 6 months ago on Product Hunt. At the time it was a very simple project where your site could only have 1 file, there was no custom domain support, and a lot of account related functionality wasn't complete yet. In the past 6 months I have greatly improved upon this project. This project is known as 1mbsite now and is a great place to host your site :)

@emilyjsnowdon sure! V2 allows you to have multiple files, supports custom domains and automatic SSL, has a new code editor which I wrote from scratch, and a bunch of other stuff. (Edit: I say wrote from scratch because v1 of editor was written by my friend Arturs. All aspects of this new editor were written by me except the syntax highlighting and other code editing logic which is a JS library called Ace.)

Why should I use 1mbsite instead of hosting it on Netlify or GitHub Pages?

@damcclean Came to ask this. What about the product is ethical?

@luikohl What do you mean, Sir?!

@luikohl @dayaldave Factually, the site contains text that states it's "ethical"; this is actually the wrong use for the adjective. A service can, for example, be "ethically good" or "ethically bad" (naturally depending on how one defines "ethical"). To simply state that one is "ethical" is like stating that one is "quality". It doesn't mean anything, really. My recommendation is, however, that the text is changed; I feel that having it there, unchanged, makes me feel the same as when I see VPN providers saying they're "100% secure", which makes me think it's hogwash; I'm not saying you're bad, but I firmly recommend to change the language.

@dayaldave The description for the product is: "1mbsite is an ethical and free website host. We offer free static hosting with custom domain support and automatic SSL management." My question was what about the product is ethical? I'm assuming the term ethical is being used here as ethically positive.

@damcclean 1mbsite is meant to be easy to use. Not everybody knows Git or SFTP. Sometimes people just want a simple web based code editor. People tell me all the time how surprised they are by how easy it is to get a site online with 1mbsite
