Like this idea but at $12/year isn’t that mostly going to be domain registration costs? Or are there bulk domain registration services that can be gotten far cheaper?

Netify hosting a Jekyll site pulled from a GitHub repo. CMS is a different site. I’ll write this up.

And Publii seems interesting in this regard, though doesn’t offer an automatic “here’s your domain + hosting” option (yet) https://getpublii.com/
