Website Hosting without a traditional server.

No longer do you need a webserver host static content sites.

What is Cloud Nexus served from? It's not served from a traditional apache web server, or VPS. It's static file served direcrly off of Amazon S3. The main content manager behind this, is Jekyll.

Jekyll is a simple, blog-aware, static site generator. It takes a template directory containing raw text files in various formats, runs it through a converter (like Markdown) and our Liquid renderer, and spits out a complete, ready-to-publish static website suitable for serving with your favorite web server. Jekyll also happens to be the engine behind GitHub Pages, which means you can use Jekyll to host your project’s page, blog, or website from GitHub’s servers for free.
