I have my personal website deployed to S3 and my DNS in Route53 with a Travis CI commit hook that will upload my files and update the permissions automatically when I push changes to Github.
Only costs ~$27/year to have a domain($15) and a static website deployed to S3/R53 ($1/month), which I've found to be fairly reasonable for the level of reliability I can expect.
I admit it is complicated up front but once it is setup and updates are automated it is really nice to not need to worry about self hosting, hardware, VPS', etc just for a simple website.
- Gys 7y ago> push changes to Github Or create an organisation on Github and publish this website as a Page. It is simple and it is free.
- nsporillo 7y agoCertainly not a bad idea, but in my case I care to own the domain because I also use it when naming Java packages for the projects I write. Since I'm already paying for the domain, I figure I might as well use it for my actual website too. I've found S3 and Route53 to be the most cost effective for my particular use case.
- Gys 7y agoIt is easy to connect your own domain to a Github Page ;-)
- manigandham 7y agoGithub Pages support custom domains for free.
- sdinsn 7y agoGithub Pages supports domains
- derenge 7y agoI personally haven’t used it, but I think you can use your own domain with GitHub pages fairly easily. https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/... Edit: I see others mentioned this too, but hopefully the link adds some added benefit!
