Looking for general advice on things like handling the acquisition process, approaching potential buyers, handling negotiations on terms and valuation and to finalising the buyout.

- How to present your startup, what to emphasize and what not? - How to approach potential buyers if they didn't approach you first? - How to properly leverage the situation when multiple interested parties are involved? - General DOs and DONTs?

Do you guys know of any good books or articles about this topic? Can you share your experience, what went right and wrong?

Thanks!

Front-end and back-end are separating. I find myself writing more web apps that either don't require a backend or outsource it to backend as a service (Baas).

It seems a bit silly to have to deploy and maintain hosted servers with Nginx just to serve static files. Preferably, I'm looking for a managed and "one command" distributed solution with uptime guarantees, something like Heroku, but for websites consisting of static files only.

I heard people were using S3 for this, but then recall reading that S3 wasn't recommended to host websites.

How do you guys host these files? Also, how do you deal with SSL and canonical URLs (no-www)?

Thank you.
