Ask IH: Free blogging platform with custom domain

I would like to start writing more frequently just wondering if there is any blogging platform which has free custom domain support? And hopefully a export functionality too.

    Netlify free plan supports custom domian.

      And a free SSL/TLS cert' (Let's Encrypt)! :D

  2. 2

    Github pages is free with custom domains (I think?)
    You can use it with something like Jekyll to make a nice little blog that's easily exportable.

        You'll probably want to use Cloudflare as well as I don't think Github provides an SSL certificate when using a custom domain.

    This is a really cool idea - would be willing to make this with you if your passionate about it.

      there is a lack of micro-blogging platforms out there. Tumblr is best used for portfolio, Medium is great but closed sourced.

      Like I mentioned - cool idea
