Why is it a good idea to use JamStack instead of Wordpress for many of your websites. It's time for the old static websites technology to go back to the future !

The global cost of a server is 10$/month. The installation of
one server needs one day.
You need to add 2$ by website to get one dedicated IP. Each
website needs then 1/2 day to be installed and the redaction
time
The server’s load is high, we can observe many slowing sites
performance. Even optimised, those sites get a GTMetrix
score of B or C. This implies potential Google penalties.
Security side, there are potential vulnerabilities due to PHP,
SQL or directly the Wordpress core and its plugins. The
website needs permanent updates and maintenance
operations.

The Netlify Hosting is free.
You just need to buy a GitHub pro account to create private
repos. 7€/month for 5 users. This price is fixed for an
unlimited number of websites (free solutions are available
too)
You need less than 1 hour to install the website.
The server load is minimal and the speed is optimised thanks
to the static hosting. Then we can get A on GTMetrix easily.
That makes our friend Google happy !
Security wise, no maintenance is needed. GitHub protects
the contents. Each website gets its own IP thanks to Netlify
CDNs.

5. No backup needed. Powerfull and easy to use VCS. No risk of data loss.
Files versioning
To create a new project, you just need to create a fork of an existing project or
the original one.
Super fast deployment
Today, GitHub is the number one solution for project hosting. It gives the
opportunity for collaborative work on a single project without data loss and a
safe deployment thanks to Git-Flow.
Thanks to the branch system, each one can work on a part of the project and
publish only this part on a temporary server without interfering on the production
server.
Collaborative work
6. Hugo is a Go coded project, created by Netlify to offer a
generation tool on their server.
It is one of the 3 bests static sites generators along Gatsby
(React.js / Facebook) and Jekyll (GitHub).
The Markdown redaction allows an easy to use markup which
is pretty readable. The pages hierarchy is simply done thanks
to the files and directories tree. The redaction of the Front
Matter allows simple tagging or custom fields use for each
page.
The Node.js architecture and the Webpack compilation
automation allow a real time deployment of the
modifications like any traditional CMS.
7. Thanks to the connection between Netlify and GitHub and to the native
integration of the Hugo compiler, Netlify can detect any changes committed on a
given branch, compile and automatically publish the project in a few seconds.
Automatic deployment
An easy DNS (CNAME) management allows to link the domain in a few minutes.
Easy domain management
The goal of Netlify is to create a unified platform that automates high-performant
sites and web-apps hosting. Users should be able to simply push their code and
let the system take care of the rest.
Nothing to configure on this side. Netlify manages everything. No long
configurations needed, no Ip to buy, everything is included and activated with
just a click.

9. The solution only requires a $7 / month
subscription. Deployment is much faster.
There is no need to spend time optimizing
servers or the site. Everything's already
done. All that's left to write.
The performance and safety of a static site
hosted in a reliable environment.
No more server maintenance, no more
plugins or core to update.
