Very cool alternative to AWS S3 static website hosting. The 125k free Netlify function invocations per month open up a lot of options for dynamic actions for a static site, like a contact form. The same thing can be accomplished in AWS with API Gateway and Lambda but each of those services has a cost, albeit not much if you don't get much traffic. Thanks a lot. I'm sold
I have mine in Heroku for about two years and is totally free! You can have even teams (up to 5 members) and continuously deliver apps from dev to staging and production. Also, you can use custom domains and git.
I cannot believe how easy it was to set up the netlify thingy...I have been scratching my head for over a week now and working on getting money but lol this will save me cause I can now have people review my site before I actually deploy it like we do in the responsive portfolio course you have (*card got declined cause I have insufficient funds)

Is there a way to set up a custom email and email forwarding with Netlify? It would be really great to switch over but that might be a dealbreaker if it’s not an option.
There is a firebase too. And it might be not only for static pages. You can use Firebase functions to auto generate pages like regular server. Functions are for free. Each month you got 1-2 milions free function calls (above it cost about 0.4 USD per milion. Really cheap). It works like it's turning on in one second mini server and generate what ever you want and turn's off.
Amazing content as always. Continue doing the good work for those who are aspiring to learn coding and also who want to make a career for themselves. I appreciate what you do a lot!
I know you said deploying a website through gethub first gives you version control as opposed to uploading the entire website folder every time you have an update. Would this still be the case if you have graphic updates as well? Which would you say is more streamlined and easier? Thank you for everything.
Do you mean doing graphic updates on a webpage, like changing images and the like? Then yup, I'd still go the git way. So muc hsafer of a way to work, and nice to be able to track all the changes really easily.
This is actually very good for a personal website. Just don't buy the domain from them, it can get pretty expensive. Get a domain from GoDaddy then host it on Netlify, for instance.
Just a little suggestion - NEVER use free hosting if you are serious with your sites! Free hosts are bad or turn bad soon, always!! Go for some real and proven hosting like did.li/a2hosting66off you can host several blog sites there, it is one of the fastest and still incredibly cheap
Github pages are 100GB bandwidth limit per month. So shrink as much as you can for hosting files and images. You can't shrink codes but you can for files hosted through github to others like google.
If it's only 100Gigs of Bandwidth, then is it worth learning html to build a website from scratch? I'm seriously looking into building my own brand and I feel like designing my own website will definitely draw traffic. Or should I just use WordPress and call it a day :/
there are no subdomains in the methods mentioned right? and does it include backend? pardon me but till i manage to watch the video but plz any one answer those 2 questions if y can

@@KevinPowell Hello there I have multiple html files and some css type files and pictures and one video, they are all missing you know hat might be wrong
you can deploy more intelligent pages to heroku for free. Just note that heroku will refresh the state of your application after awhile so it's important you only use it for RESTful applications only.
Can you upload videos either through links to another video sharing site or straight from your pc to your site if it's static or does it have to be dynamic?
My website is up, scheduled for renewal at Inmotion Hosting, so I'd like to move it. Can I use my Domain name, or do you get stuck with their url? Also can I upload my old school hymn files as is via ftp, or just drop the site folder in deploy? Thanks much.
Guys, I learnt there are hosting companies that pays residual income. I joined this one htttp://nathannortey.com/gdi it gives you a domain and hosting. They pay weekly residual but I want something big that could also cover my mortgage.
After i published the website in netlify is the website will appear for others after few years also ? This publish is only for quite amount of time or lifetime ?
So if I use netlify for hosting my website and github to deploy updates, what solution is outthere for my email using my custom domain that is free? I currently host on namecheap which is about $34/yr. If I switch, I will still need to pay for having my email..
I'm new to programming. What kind of files are needed to "create" a website? So like the what kind of files need to be in the folder that is uploaded to netlify?
do yo know that you can also try www.bluehost.com/track/bluehostagent/ , it very cheap and amazing, it a one of the best places to host your website...... it better off though , try now and thank me later
Hi Kevin..Thanks for the info. I am currently using WordPress free version and no hosting. But I realize that my WordPress blog is not index in google search engine. Do you think I need to upgrade with a hosting plan? Netlify looks amazing, if I create an account with Netlify, will my be website be indexed?
Thanks a lot I just created a very simple HTML/CSS website and hosted the Google Adsense code ! (To use Admob to add ads to applications), idk why it asks for a website but it’s done !
Do your searches and come back to Kevin's channel and you are probably going to find the answer you were looking for! I was looking to see if I can build a site w/ a user friendly interface for a blog. Seems like NetlifyCMS is the answer!
I'm new to programming and am learning the basics like html, css, and JavaScript. So this is just what I was looking for, and now I can start making my website Blog thing. :-)
I really appreciate this video, I still not understand how to specifically host my website once I charged files on site, could you please make another video?

Could you also use this to showcse websites on a portfolio? For example, make your portfolio website, and then put some links in there that link to projects, also uploaded on netlify, so its not just a png image but a real working portfolio piece people can click through?
Hi for some reason my personal website is not reading: 1 html file and 1 css file.. I dropped them into a repository in GIT, but still I get the following error: "Looks like you've followed a broken link or entered a URL that doesn't exist on this site." You know how to fix this?
It does uses pictures from my downloads, maybe that is the reason, that there is no link to my pc anymore (I'm all new to this) so how do I link these to images into a separate folder in GIT?
Gitlab pages is better than github pages because you can use CI output as your site instead of just the git repo content. This means you can use any static site generator.
yea, cuz they're all hackers that want to use small hosting companies for spam and hacking. We had to block India completely from out servers. Mean nasty selfish hacker scum bags

Doesn't heroku free hosting has a downtime slot everyday when your website goes to sleep.and can't be acessed

This is actually very good for a personal website. Just don't buy the domain from them, it can get pretty expensive. Get a domain from GoDaddy then host it on Netlify, for instance.
netlify was fairly limited. you cant send ajax to other server.
