GitHub was just down the other day. Why would you want your personal website/portfolio to be tied to GitHub? Crazy "modern web dev" stacks are likely overkill, but that's not an argument against self-hosting.
- sneak 2y agoPersonal websites can be down a few days a month without a problem.
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 2y ago+1. Not like my $5 hosting plan has less downtime than Github. Well... maybe? Fewer moving parts perhaps. But it's not immune.
- mr_mitm 2y agoBecause it's free and convenient, and other hosting providers don't magically have 100% uptime either. Not even necessarily more uptime than GitHub.
- zahlman 2y agoHow is it "tied"? You still have a local repo that you could deploy somewhere else.
- BrandoElFollito 2y agoI like to think that when GitHub (or Google, or Netflix, ...) are down, I am not alone. A few million people are holding their breath - unlike in the case of my self-hosted site where I am alone to bring it back online.
