GitHub Pages

Free option

Publish static websites from a GitHub repository with HTTPS.

What you can use it for

Publish static websites from a GitHub repository with HTTPS.

  • Covers the core use case of Carrd Pro, WordPress.com, Vercel Pro, Netlify Pro and Heroku for a personal/static site: free hosting with a custom domain.
  • Named creators report building and hosting personal sites and blogs on it for years.
Workflow coverage and comparison notes

Host a personal or project static site with a custom domain for free instead of a paid website or hosting plan. Not for primarily commercial sites per GitHub Pages terms; static output only.

Before you switch

Intended for project and personal sites, not primarily commercial/e-commerce sites (GitHub Pages terms). Needs Git + HTML/SSG, and the source repo is public on the free plan.

Alternatives to these paid apps

Each comparison covers the workflow described above, rather than every paid feature.
