What type of sites can be hosted on github pages? Can github pages be used free by anyone for any site? Can I have a blog under my own domain (with ads and make money) where I write about random stuff not relatade to any github project? Feels like there must be alot of limitations, like not for profit, limited bandwidth/pageviews per month, and must be github project oriented etc or?

According to GitHub: > You can use GitHub Pages to showcase some open source projects, host a blog, or even share your résumé > GitHub Pages is not intended for or allowed to be used as a free web-hosting service to run your online business, e-commerce site, or any other website that is primarily directed at either facilitating commercial transactions or providing commercial software as a service (SaaS) > In addition, your use of GitHub Pages is subject to the GitHub Terms of Service, including the restrictions on get-rich-quick schemes, sexually obscene content, and violent or threatening content or activity > GitHub Pages sites have a soft bandwidth limit of 100 GB per month https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/about-github-pages https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github... There are certainly better hosting options out there that provide more freedom, but GitHub Pages is nice for someone who just wants to get a personal site up and running without much fuss.
