Host your

Publish a site that gives your name, work, writing, links, and projects one stable home. Upload the static output, attach your domain, and keep the page online without running a server.

What a personal website needs to do
It should be easy to update, fast to open, and credible enough to send to people who do not know you yet.
Own your name
Use a custom domain for your homepage, blog, resume hub, or portfolio so your identity is not trapped inside a social profile URL.
Global edge delivery
Visitors in different regions receive the site from nearby edge locations instead of a single origin server.
Fast content updates
Update a bio, project, article, resume link, or announcement without touching SSH, Docker, or a long infrastructure checklist.
Launch without ops overhead
You can publish a personal project without spending your weekend on Linux maintenance, Docker setup, or web server configuration.
Turn the homepage into a useful personal hub
A good personal site is not a decorative business card. It helps strangers understand what you do, what you have made, and where to go next.
Start with a clear identity
Name, role, short bio, location or availability when useful, and one sentence that makes your work easy to place.
Link to proof
Projects, essays, talks, products, GitHub, resume, case studies, press, teaching material, or anything that proves the claim.
Give visitors a next step
Add contact, newsletter, booking, social links, hiring status, product links, or a focused call to action depending on your goal.
Keep it current
A personal site with stale work signals neglect. Static hosting should make small updates cheap enough that you actually do them.
Works with the static tools personal sites already use
Build locally with the stack you like, then upload the generated output.
Astro / Eleventy / Hugo / Hexo
Great for blogs, notes, personal homepages, and content-heavy sites where the output is static HTML.
Next.js / Nuxt static export
Use static export when the site does not need request-time rendering, API routes, or server middleware.
Plain HTML or AI-generated pages
Hand-coded homepages and generated HTML projects work as long as index.html and the assets are uploaded together.
Publish your site in three steps
Generate the static files
Use Hugo, Hexo, Astro, Next.js static export, or hand-written HTML. The only requirement is a static output folder.
Upload the build output
Drag in the generated dist, public, or out directory and let DeployPages handle the hosting side.
Attach your domain
Add the domain in the console, point the DNS record, and let HTTPS provisioning finish the launch.
Common personal-site launch mistakes
The site explains everything except who you are
Put your name, role, and strongest proof near the top. Visitors should not have to decode your nav to understand the page.
The custom domain is not connected yet
Publish on the preview URL first, then attach the domain and verify DNS before using the link in profiles or resumes.
Blog or project pages break after upload
Upload the full generated output folder. Static site generators often create nested folders and asset directories.
The site looks outdated after a few months
Keep the core page small enough to maintain. Add a recent work section, latest writing, or current status that can be updated quickly.
Personal website hosting FAQ
Q:Is the free plan enough for a personal blog?
For lightweight blogs and personal sites, yes. Static pages are inexpensive to serve, so the free tier is often enough until traffic grows.
Q:Can I use Jekyll, Hexo, or Next.js?
Yes. Any framework that outputs static HTML, CSS, and JS can be published. For Next.js, use static export mode and upload the out directory.
Q:Will the site still be SEO-friendly?
Yes. Static HTML, fast delivery, readable metadata, clean internal links, and a custom domain can all help people and search engines understand the site.
Q:Is a personal website better than a social profile?
Use both. Social profiles are useful for discovery, but your personal website gives you a stable place for deeper work, writing, links, and contact details.
Q:Can I use this as a resume hub?
Yes. Many personal sites include a short bio, project links, downloadable resume, writing, social profiles, and a contact path on one domain.
