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.

I was confused when I read it as well, at least I know now that I wasn't alone. I think the next step is just opening a text editor and starting with Forward a couple ports, maybe use caddy to route the port internally but it isn't needed. Although if you use NOIP with Caddy getting the https cert setup seems to be pretty easy.
