I've been frustrated with Netlify's new credit system that limits free plan users and even those on the pro plan. With the amount of updates I make on various projects through git, it's ridiculous to spend 15 credits for a single deployment! The free plan gives you only 300 credits a month, and even the $10 per month plan only offers 2000. Since I'm using Nuxt and hosting my backends on Railway, I'm considering switching to GitHub Pages with GitHub Actions for deployment. What are some good options for free static site hosting?

Digital Ocean is a great option too. You can get a $5/month server, and I use that for a few sites. It does require some server management skills, but if you're a developer, that should be right up your alley!
I just build my projects locally and push them to Netlify. I wonder, though, if that counts against the credit system they have. Has anyone looked into how that works?
Vercel might be worth looking into too. They have a decent free tier that might suit your needs, even though they do try to upsell a bit. Also, like you mentioned, Cloudflare is a solid option to explore!
I would recommend checking out Cloudflare Pages. It can connect to your git repo and automatically rebuild your site every time you push changes. Plus, as far as I know, hosting purely static files shouldn’t cost you anything!
If you're planning on using GitHub Pages, be aware that it's not really intended for commercial use. They have restrictions on using it for websites that facilitate transactions or provide SaaS. Just something to keep in mind! Check their documentation for the details.
