Surge
Static websites can be published from the command line using Surge and its CDN.
About Surge
Surge is a command-line tool for publishing static websites to the surge.sh CDN. After installing the package globally, a site is published by running a command with a local path and a domain; the readme states deployments are served from 10 regions. The readme also describes a free plan with unlimited custom domains and unlimited deployments, though pricing for any other plan is not given in this repository.
