   HI! Thanks for the question! If you’ve used and like GitHub Pages, and are just going to host a website as quickly as possible, it’s probably going to be the better option for you. GitHub can host the website, and GitHub Pages has better

   Thanks! I would love if this approach took off too. I think it could be pretty good — the friend who runs networking stuff could give people access to hosting and use simple tools, and you get a lot of little hosts! Let me know if there
