I'm looking for a new place to host a few static sites as Netlify's free tier has been a bit too flaky for me (I use a monitoring service to check that my sites are up every few minutes throughout the day and at least from where I am Netlify appears pretty spotty), so I'm looking for alternatives.
My only real requirements are the ability to upload files. Git support (note, "Git", not "GitHub" like Netlify has) would be a plus, or maybe rsync or SFTP, but this isn't a hard requirement. I'm okay paying a bit too, but I'm not looking for an inexpensive VPS that I have to manage myself. Finally, it would be nice to be able to get an IP from them that's only assigned to me. I've had trouble with my sites being blacklisted in the past, presumably because something else using the same IP on Netlify or other shared hosts I've used was serving spam.
Finally: nothing owned by one of the big tech companies. I'm looking for something smaller and independent that I can support and not use Google/Amazon/Microsoft/etc.
EDIT: another requirement is the ability to log in without associating an external account (ie. good ol' email and password, not just OAuth or what not).
SFTP access, file upload, very cheap pay-as-you-go (traffic spikes will hit the $0 floor and stop incurring charges), email/password login.
They do not provide a static IP but do attempt to cover the seemingly most-common case where clients request it: "The most common reason people request a static IP address is to point external DNS at a site hosted with us. As part of our hosting service, we provide our own special DNS records for each site that you can link to external DNS using the CNAME capability that work even better than static IPs. These records preserve full fault tolerance and load balancing."
