Hi,

I definitely thinks that is the solution.

But here is my story about it:

I've worked for months building a solution that is able to host static websites easily, safely, and that is real fast.

But, when I first tried to sell it to web agencies, the answer was "That sounds good, but how the hell do I explain my clients they have no online admin interface?"

I then added a simple, made-in-one-day feature: The solution may now take files from the storage, or delegate to a URL. You can then benefit from all my pretty speed optimization tools (cache headers, caches, image profile striper, auto gzip...) And you can back your static website with a CMS, just playing some DNS tricks.

And it rocked. Apart one thing: CMS usually tend to use absolute URLs with hostname, and the likes, wherever they want. Time for a search-and-replace tool.

Now, I think I've come to a nice solution. But it has now grown with complexity, from what seemed a super simple fast-cloud-content-hosting-solution.

What do you think about my way to this cruel end? Would you like to try it and give me some feedback? Here it is: http://www.staticms.com (sorry, most of the content is in French, but I'm translating as fast as I can... First error was maybe to target French web agencies...)

PS: Here is a blog post of mine (in French, again...) on how you may use my solution to hide a wordpress install behind my solution to be "20h proof" (able to withstand nation wide TV news coverage... with your URL center, bold)
