Alternative to github pages? (reddthat.com)

Is there a good alternative to github pages? I need just a static website up.

  • I have a domain.
  • I have my site (local machine)
  • And that's all I have.
  • I have a machine that could be running 24/7 too.

You could port forward.

However, I'd buy a digital droplet for 10 USD a month, point the A record of the domain to that and then use Caddy to implement SSL.

Caddy can run a http server or reverse proxy something on localhost.

$10/month just for a static website is a lot, especially with free alternatives out there.
