amazing, simply amazing. But what's the catch? Is there a limit on size etc?

[@IdeaSpot]

There are some soft usage limits, but it should be fine in 99% of cases - static sites are generally pretty small.
docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/about-github-pages#usage-limits
You wouldn't be able to do things like host large file sharing sites or video hosting for example with the 100GB bandwidth limit.

Im getting 'Domain's DNS record could not be retrieved. For more information, see documentation (InvalidDNSError).', do you know how to fix that ?

[@khalidelgazzar]

Great video, thanks Alex.
Yes it will be great to see more customization & a converted to static WordPress website

[@IdeaSpot]

Great, thanks for the feedback :)

[@Yacine3Dz]

Thank you so much for the tutorial!
I was wondering, how to get the domain to work with "www". Cause at the moment my site doesn't work when I type www before my domain.

[@user-gj5ml9ik2s]

Amazing thanks

[@IdeaSpot]

Thank you too!

[@nikkol-as]

please do the same but with wordpress anf github + custom domain if possible. and you can talk about the cheap costing domain names like siteground and others you know.

[@IdeaSpot]

Thanks yes I’m planning to do this for sure 👍

[@CaptZenPetabyte]

Thanks for the tutorial, just what I was looking for and in a clean simple manner of explanation. May I ask, am I able to host a couple of sites, or just one site using this method?

[@IdeaSpot]

Yes you can have multiple sites 👍

[@rubaiyakhanjerin3990]

could anyone tell me why he did the 2nd part?
why namecheap part? is that needed

[@IdeaSpot]

Hi, this is to have a custom domain name, if you are OK with the free GitHub.io domain then you don’t need to do that step

[@ravi-gadhiya]

You can do same using cloudflare pages also.

[@IdeaSpot]

yes! we did that in the previous video

[@SuperMixedd]
