GitHub Pages

Static sites served from a GitHub repository, built by Actions or from a branch, free on public repositories.

pages.github.compricingdocs

Static sites served direct from a git repository.

The free tier that has never become a trap.

GitHub Pages serves a static site straight from a repository: push to a branch, or let an Actions workflow build first, and the output is published on a github.io subdomain or a custom domain with a certificate GitHub obtains. Jekyll is built in, which is why so much of the documentation web runs on it. GitHub is a Microsoft subsidiary, which ownership records; the forge that holds the repository is a record of its own, because serving a built site and keeping the source are two different purchases.

It is hosting in the sense this register cares about — somebody has to choose where a built site lives — and it is unusual in being free for public repositories with no plan to compare. What it does not do is run anything: no server-side code, no database, no shell, and no way to answer a request with something computed. A site that outgrows that is looking at the serverless and PaaS records rather than at a bigger plan here.

Regions are recorded as not applicable: the content is served from a CDN GitHub operates and no region is offered to the customer as a choice.
