I’m not sure what people mean by hosted now - I just have basic hosting with html, css, and ssh. Technically it supports php, etc but I only have that in a few places for silly reasons.
Some people seem to go all in on containers and AWS or similar for their personal site which seems overkill.
Or is this GitHub pages vs (say) squarespace? (Squarespace seems to result in functional and good looking sites)
- squiffsquiff 3y agoI think 'hosted' has two meanings in this context which may be adding to your confusion. Clearly your own example refers to a 'host' server which you can connect to and can run scripts dynamically. GitHub pages is a static site service. Essentially you load your site into a CDN cache and serve from there. You don't really have a 'host' to connect to at all.
