Publishing Websites (Hosting Services)
You can use your local computer to host your website; however, this is not ideal from a security and stability point of view. Usually, website owners use website hosting services. There are several types of website hosting. Among the several choices, cloud-based hosting services have been getting more popular recently.
Website settings differ by hosting service (e.g., IP address setting, domain setting, etc.); however, the key objective is the same – to place your website files (HTML, CSS, Javascript, and media files) on your web server and make them accessible throughout the internet.
Several services are available for easy-to-setup website hosting such as GitHub Pages, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, or Firebase. We'll cover how to publish a website using GitHub Pages in this course.
