Host your site for free, with version control, staging, and more using Netlify

You already have your page on GitHub already, so why not host it with Netlify and take advantage of the versioning from GitHub (including easy rollbacks), easily set up a staging site through a branch, and a lot more.

This came in exactly when I needed it. I am building a site for a client and was having questions about deployment. Kevin, you are the man! 👍🏼

Hi Kevin, I saw this video months ago and helped me hosting little projetcs and showing them on job interviews. A month ago I started working at an international Company in South America as a Software Developer. Thank you so much for this little piece of advice here.

I’d love a whole video that’s just you ranting and reminiscing about the olden days of web development back when everything was clunky and awkward. Then you could show the modern day solutions and how they make it so much easier. You could tell us all how you used to walk uphill through the snow to center a div.

Holy crap, geocities! Now that was a memory neuron that hadn't fired for a long while!

[mahdidrostami]

What benefits do hosting my site on Netlify will have compared to simple Github pages? For example, If I just want to have a simple HTML and CSS site up and running?

Here’s me an ex personal trainer like “oh force carbs is this a new diet!?” 😅

Hi Kevin! Would you consider doing a tutorial on this setup but with a CMS?

[Siliciumleben]

Can someone tell me how to set a branch? The deploy context option doesnt show on my account. Google didnt help either

[hreniucpaula]

Does it work out of the box in case of a React project? Are there any additional steps required?

[hunchothafinesseboi]

is it normal for site deploy to take long, coz mine s taking too long. thanks any help will be appreciated

[notso_geek]

That's great, I am on a front-end project to learn how to communicate with an API. I will be able to share my advanced directly like that rather than giving the link to clone the repo.

[SharonKlinkenberg]

Why use netlify when you can directly host from your github repo, usung github pages? What is the benefit?

[WeberChang-ic]

Gosh, should have used this instead of heroku. The free server of heroku automatically shuts down if it hasn't been used for half an hour, does this same situation happens to netlify, too?
