There are a lot of free static site host services
Almost every git websites like github, gitlab, gitee have a Page
service. It can provide free static web file service.
And some other sites provide similiar services, which sometime have dynamic functions, like Vercel, firebase.
So I might stop use the VPS server only for a blog site. It seems a waste of cost.
A good Domain name may be still useful, and I may not get it back again after i lose it.
A static blog site can be created by Hexo or Jekyll. The disadvantages are:
- They can't set privileages to different users for different articles.
- They can't add comments.
- They can't search. But some methods could be used to fix it.
