Hosts
I am trying out new services and if the host websites i try to run 0xfab1.net. Here ist an overview of what I have tried and what is currently running parallel to the main page on Github Pages:
Hosting Services
This website is hosted/built using the following services:
| Service | Direct Link | 0xfab1 CNAME |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub Pages | 0xfab1@github | https://www.0xfab1.net/ |
| IPFS with fleek | Broke (my fault)... need to re-create this | Broke (my fault)... need to re-create this |
| Netlify | 0xfab1@netlify | https://netlify.0xfab1.net |
| Azure | Broke (my fault)... need to re-create this | Broke (my fault)... need to re-create this |
| Digital Ocean | 0xfab1@digitalocean | https://digitalocean.0xfab1.net |
| Vercel | 0xfab1@vercel | https://vercel.0xfab1.net/ |
| cloudflare | 0xfab1@cloudflare | https://cloudflare.0xfab1.net/ |
| Render | 0xfab1@render | https://render.0xfab1.net |
| Sevalla | 0xfab1@kinsta | https://sevalla.0xfab1.net |
Services to try (again):
- AWS S3 - not tried yet
- Gitlab Pages - not tried yet, need to mirror repo first
- Surge - Automation broke at some point
- Heroku - php workaround breaks other builds
- edg.io - annoying DNS and build setup
- Fly.io - complicated build/requires extra files and github action changes
- Firebase - complicated build/requires extra files and github action changes
- Feta - complicated build/requires extra files and github action changes
- Hostman - no free option
- Qovery - looks great but didn't get it to work for simple static websites
- Statically - great for one-pagers, not suitable for 0xfab1.net
- Linode - no free option
- koyeb - account closed for unknown reason
- Railway - worked fine until beginning of 2023 when the pricing model changed and the basic service was no longer free
*happy to learn from you how I can use them using a simple, automated deployment method for my static website :)
