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.

Are you able to ask your ISP customer service to set up port forwarding for you?

At minimal you want HTTP (Port 80) but you probably want HTTPS (443) as well. If you're hosting DNS as well you will need port 53 too.

Have those ports routed to the "inside" IP of the machine you want to use, and the rest of it is basically just setting up the webserver (and possibly DNS) to serve your domain.

NB: While on the phone with your ISP, ask them what the DHCP lease time is. Ideally you want a static IP for your setup.
