Hosting
GitHub Pages
Free static hosting straight from your repo — zero config for docs sites.
Free tier
100 GB bandwidth/mo soft limit, 1 GB site size, 10 builds/hour
- Static only — no SSR, no functions, no server-side anything.
- Soft bandwidth limit — they'll email before throttling, but not bill.
- Custom domain HTTPS works but takes ~15 min to provision.
