I've used GitHub Pages for a long time to serve sites for free, notably https://asciiflow.com, however I have recently moved it and other sites to CloudFlare Pages - it's also got a very generous free tier and many other useful features that GH pages lacks. Setup is simple - https://github.com/lewish/asciiflow/blob/main/.github%2Fwork...

GitHub Actions is just great, and I think people overlook again how much you can do for free! As the author highlights, I use it for running workflows on a schedule, which you can use to rebuild static sites hourly, so they aren't so static after all.
