Nice! Does HN still run off of a single server and CDN too?
The CDN is key here, which you get if you use a CNAME (or ALIAS) instead of an A record for your custom domain on GH pages. I've found pairing pages with CloudFlare works great if you want to use a naked domain and you get HTTPS too. You can set up a page rule on CF to redirect all HTTP to HTTPS as well.
