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)
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
Wow! Thanks so much, I'm watching this 2 yrs from when this vid was published, and the method works great! I really appreciate it! keep up the good work
@@OHierofante-z5d nice, I actually deleted my website, but now I have another one, the blog sute was terrible, but now I'm kinda proud of my site, since i left this comment i started using scss instead of css and typescript instead of JavaScript, it's really fun
i struggled 5hours i swear to god i was so angry cause i watched all the videos and nothing seemed to work thank you so much for this video im not that type of person that writes a comment and english is not my language but i wanted to thank you for this video cause it is so helpful
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.
I've been looking for a free web hosting service for quite a while just so I can show my projects to other people faster. Thank you a lot, keep up the good work.
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.
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 :/
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.
I was looking for a website host! Discovering Github gives me hope and then there is Netify. Questions: -Can we suspend a project? If yes, for how long? Does the project deletes itself when let it for too long? -Is the size limit still 100Mb? -How many separated sites can we deploy? (I plan to combine many sites as one, like a library) -Is there a difference between GitHub and Netify? Are they "working together"? -Do we need to join GitHub?
@@taariqq YEAH THE SITE WAS A BIT BIG AS IT WAS MADE FROM BOOTSTRAP BUT THE FACT IS THAT IT NEVER GOT UPLOADED. IN FACT I KEPT THE COMPUTER ON FOR THE WHOLE NIGHT
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
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.
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 !

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?
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!
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?
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
Haaaa !!! What ?? And prove my point for me ya fucking loser wannabe hacker with zero subs, zero skills, zero friends and no life ??? Sure buddy. Go back to your Live support telephone scams so you can buy a new goat. 😂
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.
Hello there, I'm getting trouble into deploying my website - it says it's been deployed but then when I try to access it, it says "Looks like you've followed a broken link or entered a URL that doesn't exist on this site." Can someone help me? Thanks!
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. :-)
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 ?
This is just superb, I have been researching "site internet hosting" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Riyackenzie Hosting Highlighter - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend got great success with it.
I dragged my VSC folder in, it published, and all I get is: "Page Not Found Looks like you've followed a broken link or entered a URL that doesn't exist on this site. Back to our site" Looks like you'll have to have an index.html file and it needs to be in the root directory for this to work. Thanks for the video on this though it really is what I needed at the moment. Thanks
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
This is great! I was just searching this up like two days and din't find anything like this. Just wondering though, by "static website", can it work with NodeJs or React? because those are still just javascript right? I hope it works with especially node...Thanks again
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?
I guess what what I am trying to say... is that I would like to use a platform with free hosting, with the hope of being index in Google search engine. Of course I will definitely upgrade after. Thanks in advance for any advice offered. Most appreciated!
Tends to be excellent when I run tests on my own page. They use http2, will automatically optimize images for you, and runs off a CDN.

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?
i've been using netlify for testing things and i love it even after 1 year of using it
Me too
ok
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.
Heroku is awesome, but overkill for simple things :). For web apps though, it's great :D
Doesn't heroku free hosting has a downtime slot everyday when your website goes to sleep.and can't be acessed
Does it? I've used it to host a discord bot I coded in JavaScript.
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)

Hey kevin, just a quick question... is there a storage limit to hosting static sites on netlify..? and can I host maybe a few project blog sites..?
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

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.
Heroku is awesome, but if all you have is a static website I think it's a bit of overkill. As you mentioned, it's more for web apps and the like.

Pantheon.io also offers free hosting. The domain is weird by its free, you can even install WordPress on there.
That's cool :) - I guess if you want a custom domain you have to upgrade to their basic plan?

As long as you are serving static pages, I highly recommend using grunt if you are going beyond an SPA
very good info and overview...appreciate it
Can we use this for Angular or React apps?
You guys can also directly go to netlify.com and drag your files there to deploy your website without using GitHub

You can also use the 000Webhosting which is great for free hosting with your website name as well
thank you soo much sir you make my work soo easy
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?
Just a text file called index.html which contains the html code of your homepage.

very nice video sir
netlify was fairly limited. you cant send ajax to other server.
Im learning HTML and I added an html document and it didnt work for me :(
The home page has to be index.html
Hosting with google drive is the best way I think
