Create and host a static site for free


  1. 2

    I really like Github Pages and surge.sh. Github Pages has a soft limit of 100 GB per month but that should cover most static sites.

      How does netlify compare with github pages. Like just trying to understand why would people want to use netlify if github pages is entirely free?

    Firebase Auth by Google (https://firebase.google.com/products/auth/) is pretty neat. I have used it my landing page generator and it works smoothly.

    It took just a few hours to set things up.

    It has a free plan but be careful because there is a risk of all free plans that you can suddenly get out of the free limits and get charged for $$$$ 😉

    IndieHackers uses Firebase Auth as well.

      Yes, in case of authentication needed that would be a useful and practical solution.

      Getting out of the free limits should be a good situation though ;)

      Anyhow i setup a budget reminder on my google account :D
