What are my best options for hosting a static site on Australian servers?

Previously I was using a normal web hosting service but they don’t work very well with static site generators and are usually overpriced for what I want.

Ideally I’d like a service like Cloudflare pages or GitHub pages, etc., i.e. there is good integration with git as my site is generated using Hugo.

    I serve static content on a Quantum Core VPS. AU$5 a month. So far I cannot complain, though I am more of a self-hoster than using saas products.

      EDIT: Woops thought parent said shared hosting, not VPS. I meant for Quantum’s shared hosting.

      Quantum gave up on email reputation a year or so back, so make sure you’re not also wanting outgoing email for anything (alerts, logs).

        Run my own email server - on same box. I don’t know much about email reputation, just know enough and lucky enough to not get my email delivered to spam folder at google mail. Given the AU$ was so weak it became cheaper to host in Au. Excluding the really cheap stuff - i.e. US$2 a month. Not concerned with server monitoring; Azure goes down more often than the cheap crap I use.
