Which hosting service do you use for your personal website?

GCP, AWS or something else?

    I used to host my websites on the GitHub, just because it is easy to handle and free. Only need pay for domain. But it works for sites which do not require any kind of background activity, like promo, or personal website or blog. Last time I mover to Netlify, because now they provide free hosting plan, and it is easier to set up the flow.

    I use Hugo as a static builder and to build website on GH Pages and have some options, like comments and hide my drafts at the same time, I used private repo for code and content and public repo for "compiled" website. But with Netlify, it is much easier now, only one repo per site.

      what's your monthly costs if I may ask? seems like my GCP would reach to $150 this month with no traffic :(

        According to personal websites, or websites for small projects is $0. Except domain cost, of course. Now I don't have something that I need to run consistently, like a virtual server, so I spend nothing.

    Cloudflare with their built-in Next.js support is working great for me. A little complicated to set up, but I may have overcomplicated it by doing their full-on next.js setup when really I only needed static content. Anyway I can recommend.
