But over time I\u2019ve become more and more concerned with the fact that I had left it\u2019s security pretty much unattended. I did have a cron job running updates, and limited the site to hosting this static jekyll site, but still couldn\u2019t shake the unease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been a big fan of Netlify and their services for a little while and had already used a <a href=\"https:\/\/gohugo.io\">Hugo<\/a> and Netlify combination to host my business site at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swarms.ca\/\">swarms.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So switching this site over to the same technology stack was a no brainer. Saving the $5USD that the droplet was costing me was a great side benefit too. The speed at which Hugo can generate pages is so worth the little bit extra effort it takes to get things customized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not even scratching the surface of what Netlify can do right now, just dipping my toe in with their commandline deployment method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I just need to spend some time looking into their CMS option and it could be a great solution for some of my clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update: 2023 &#8211; I&#8217;ve since moved this site off of netlify.
