Moving my blog from RPi to Netlify
I was thinking about the hosting of my blog these days. The reason is hosting my blog on my Raspberry Pi is free, but what if
- The Raspberry Pi has been restarted
- The home network is offline
- Replace my router
- DDoS attack
- Power outage
- Simply update the RPi
- and so on...
Based on these possible problems, I decided to move this website somewhere.
Hosting this blog on my RPi is kind of free because it is always turned on. But, what if there is a web hosting company to host my static website for free? Additional benefits would be
- Fast loading speed
- 99.99% uptime
- CDN (Content Delivery Network) globally
Fortunately, I found the Netlify provider, and they can provide me all of them for free! Incredible!
So I found Netlify... Less than 24 hours later my blog is working from this place :)
If you want to build one similar blog like this, just follow these steps:
- Order a domain on Namecheap
Thank you for support me if you order through this link :) It costs nothing to you - Create your website with a static website builder
I prefer to use Publii - Sign Up on Netlify
This is where your website will be stored - Connect your domain to Netlify
After you created a site, connect your ordered domain (Step #1) as a Custom Domain - Upload your website from Publii directly to Netlify
Check "Server Settings / Netlify" in Publii - Check your brand new website :)
To update the content of your website, press the "Sync your website" button in Publii
The future
The free plan on Netlify is limited to 100GB / month bandwidth, so my idea is I'll move from Netlify to DigitalOcean Platform App because it's cheaper with an additional bandwidth than the Pro plan on Netlify.
