Hi all, I’m curious to know other than Github Pages, where else people host their Jekyll sites? ---

There is, of course, aways the possibility to run Jekyll locally, and upload the built site to nearly any service provider via ftp/sftp. That’s what I do, with `make` scripts driving e.g. the excellent `lftp`. ---

aws amplify, works great, same type of deal as GH where any commit re-renders the site. Also easy to do a preview site on a dev branch and then only allow pull requests on the main branch. ---

I’ve got one site on [bunny.net](http://bunny.net) storage with their CDN in front of it. It’s still managed at Github, but actions build the site and push it to bunny storage via FTP. I use `https://github.com/jeffreytse/jekyll-deploy-action` to build and `https://github.com/SamKirkland/FTP-Deploy-Action` to deploy. ---

Probably [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/) is the most known service, however, I like a simple old-style web host with only an FTP account to send the generated files to. ---

Vercel makes it pretty easy, and their free ‘hobby’ plan seems pretty generous - I’m hosting a couple different sites with it. > **[How to Create & Deploy a Jekyll Site to Vercel](https://vercel.com/guides/deploying-jekyll-with-vercel)** > > Learn how to create a Jekyll website and deploy it live with Vercel in only a few steps. ---

Thanks everyone. I’m looking to support a new hosting for my [online jekyll editor](https://www.JekyllPad.com) webapp. Which one would be a better option in your opinion? ---

My registrar provides static hosting for $30/year. I signed up for that for two new Jekyll sites I’m working on (+1 for `lftp`). Then I learned there are many places that provide free static hosting. In the meantime, I’m currently running a non-Jekyll static site on AWS with S3, CloudFront, and Route 53. Not free, but pretty cheap. Plus I’m learning useful skills. Here are sites that I know nothing about except they claim to provide free static web hosting: Github Pages, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Firebase, AWS Amplify, Vercel, Forge, Kinsta, Gitlab Pages, Surge, Render, Stormkit, Host. ---

+1 I am hosting my Chinese site in Vercel. GitHub is very slow in China, so Vercel becomes the alternative to it – free and easy to config.
