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

| cloudflare | 0xfab1@cloudflare | https://cloudflare.0xfab1.net/ |
| Render | 0xfab1@render | https://render.0xfab1.net |
Services to try:
I tried these services but they didn't suit me for my deployment at the time tested*:
- 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 :)
