Hi Kevin, I saw this video months ago and helped me hosting little projetcs and showing them on job interviews. A month ago I started working at an international Company in South America as a Software Developer. Thank you so much for this little piece of advice here.
I’d love a whole video that’s just you ranting and reminiscing about the olden days of web development back when everything was clunky and awkward. Then you could show the modern day solutions and how they make it so much easier. You could tell us all how you used to walk uphill through the snow to center a div.
@@KevinPowell hello you've been of great help, i'm having an issue with deploying my site its taking long this is my first project i want to host s it normal ?
haha, the good old days. I remember back in the mid 90s when it would take like a week before your domain name propagated. It was impossible to explain to customers what was happening. Originally I would share the IP address with them so they could check the website while we were waiting for the domain name to propagate. But then I had a client who used print advertising and used the IP address MONTHS after the domain name had actually propagated.. so I stopped giving out the IP addresses.
What benefits do hosting my site on Netlify will have compared to simple Github pages? For example, If I just want to have a simple HTML and CSS site up and running?
What free domain name did he talk about? i know about freenom but it gives me technical difficulties. it would be very helpful if i able to get one. and Thanks for the information, your videos are really good and helpful.
That's great, I am on a front-end project to learn how to communicate with an API. I will be able to share my advanced directly like that rather than giving the link to clone the repo.
Nope. If I have any JS, which isn't often, it'll be vanilla. And if ever I have some JS framework, it would probably be Svelte 🙂. A lot of great channels out there for React content already 🙂
Gosh, should have used this instead of heroku. The free server of heroku automatically shuts down if it hasn't been used for half an hour, does this same situation happens to netlify, too?
@@ПавелЖуравлев-к8ш my website is quite basic for the moment. Only a few HTML, CSS files, and a Python flask server. Still considering whether change it onto Netlify or not since that means I have to dump the flask server (or use frozen), and the upgradability will kinda be limited. But my website will be faster at loading. Such a tough choice.
Hey kevin if you are reading this..want some advise on one topic..i completely learnt html & css ...but i am faling to design layout for website..i am failing to code in css...if i code i am failing to create a responsive layout...how to improve all these points what to do...like i think one night before that i will do this this things tomorrow..but when i wake up in the next morning i am completely blank and clueless..What should I do?? Please if you replied me it will be so valuable for me please 🙏
It's really important not to just watch tutorials, but to build along with them. Understanding something is very different from being able to do something. You might know the steps to ride a unicycle, but of you tried to get on, you fall right away. Learning anything else is the same, just less painful 😅. Start small, and if you do follow a tutorial, then built the same thing without it. See if you can, or of you get stuck. And practice, practice, practice. It takes a long time to get there 🙂
@@thebirdhasbeencharged never heard of it tbh, but I used to freaking love sublime text, so I bet it’s really good. But for me windows terminal and occasional gh desktop is fine
@@TheThirdWorldCitizen I prefer sublime merge actually, tired of these bloated electron apps and it's much more feature rich and performant. I do 90% of my work in the terminal as well but complex rebases and squashes or hunting down old commits is much easier with a gui.
Ah yes. I understand some of these words. Wish I could understand some more of those words. Perhaps I'll be back and say that I have understood more words than I could understand.
I'm assuming you can turn the CI/CD off? If I have v1.0 of a site deployed and I'm working on v1.1, I don't commit everything for v1.1 in one git push, and I don't want my work-in-progress going live until I say so.
How can i use this with a php project?. I've tried to change the places in the package.json file that says html to php. but it doesnt work, i get this error "Cannot GET /". Works great with html. Love the video btw!
Recently I deployed reactjs application in netlify... Locally its seems to be fine... But when I deploy it in netlify some html content(just the text) goes missing and when I navigate to other pages and return to the page which I'm facing issue, the issue doest exists... Please someone help me with this issue
Can't turn private repos into GitHub pages. Netlify is great for when you want your repo private but your site public. And if you are using React / Gatsby / Next JS, you would have to build, upload then deploy. Netlify does the build for you.
Netlify does more that GitHub pages, and I find the process easier as well. If it's just static HTML/CSS/JS then it's not a big difference, but as soon as there is a build process involved, Netlify takes the cake :)
This came in exactly when I needed it. I am building a site for a client and was having questions about deployment. Kevin, you are the man! 👍🏼

Such a well spoken tutorial, glad to see someone so passionate. Inspired me to get back onto some projects I had planned!

Dziękujemy.
Thank you so much!

Please do talk about geocities ! I'm really curious about this period in internet history, especially coming from you :)
"Good morning, Hal" is upon us! 😁 Great video! Thanks! 👍👍👍
Holy crap, geocities! Now that was a memory neuron that hadn't fired for a long while!
I'm still waiting for blinking star gifs and website visitor counters to make a comeback
Yeppers!
@@KevinPowell How about sites that ask visitors to sign their guestbooks?

But then I had a client who used print advertising and used the IP address MONTHS after the domain name had actually propagated.. so I stopped giving out the IP addresses.
I'm using this method as well. It made me feel better about spending more money on a better domain name.
Off topic, but your sound system is so good!
Thanks! I hate audio, so happy to hear I'm doing okay with it, lol
I Got to know your channel from your 1st netlify video its been months now and i am addicted to this channel
Glad that you're enjoying my content!
Thanks a lot for this quick tutorial. It was exactly what I needed.
thank you for showing this! thats exactly what i'm looking for^^
Thanks a lot 🙏 Love from India 🇮🇳
perfect timing for me, thank you kevin!
Straight and to the point. Thanks!
Came for the CSS stayed for the static site servings.
Great content ! 👍
Love your videos....thanks for the video
Glad you like them!
Even though I don't retain and use most of the stuff... I just watch these for fun (:
Such an informative video thank you so much
tysm I've been trying to find a hosting site for free, thankyou
Thank you for the information.
Greate Content. Thank You. 👍
Geocities.... You took me way back...
Very useful post. Thanks.
Kevin thanks for the tutorial. One question? How many static websites (different domains) could I deploy with the starter package of Netlify.?
What benefits do hosting my site on Netlify will have compared to simple Github pages? For example, If I just want to have a simple HTML and CSS site up and running?
geocities... we feel old now. thanks...
Here’s me an ex personal trainer like “oh force carbs is this a new diet!?” 😅
Thanks Sir. I really searching for it.
Hi Kevin! Would you consider doing a tutorial on this setup but with a CMS?
css muscle memory at full display while changing the domain name ...
What free domain name did he talk about? i know about freenom but it gives me technical difficulties. it would be very helpful if i able to get one.
and Thanks for the information, your videos are really good and helpful.
I think .tk are free - but Google isn't a fan of them, if you want to rank for search
do you have any recommendations on dynamic sites?
That's great, I am on a front-end project to learn how to communicate with an API. I will be able to share my advanced directly like that rather than giving the link to clone the repo.
Hi Kevin do you do react js videos?
Nope. If I have any JS, which isn't often, it'll be vanilla. And if ever I have some JS framework, it would probably be Svelte 🙂.
A lot of great channels out there for React content already 🙂
Does it work out of the box in case of a React project? Are there any additional steps required?
Do we consider a web app that calls a database using an API, a static site?
Gosh, should have used this instead of heroku. The free server of heroku automatically shuts down if it hasn't been used for half an hour, does this same situation happens to netlify, too?
No. Not at all. Netlify doesn't have this limitation.
@@blessedzulu thanks, guess I'll move all my stuff onto netlify
Netlify never shuts down, but, unlike Heroku, it is for static sites only. If you want to host something Node based you may like Vercel

if i wanted to host with them, but also wanted to have email for that domain, how would i do such a thing?
You'd need to purchase email hosting. Ive used a few different providers over the years, usually pretty easy to set up
@@KevinPowell any suggestions for those? Most i found were almost as expensive as cheap hosting for a small site itself.
When I deploy. It does not show me live page. Only github link to my files. src, components and so on
What was that got client? Thanks.
Github Desktop
It’s very convenient for personal projects or when you barely expect contributions
@@thebirdhasbeencharged never heard of it tbh, but I used to freaking love sublime text, so I bet it’s really good. But for me windows terminal and occasional gh desktop is fine

How did you do that with your password? Does it just fill in after entering so no one knows how long your password is? How to please?
I cut that part out, but I also use a password manager so I don't have to type it in anyway :)

You can turn automatic deploys off, but it's only going to public the branch you tell it to publish.
How can i use this with a php project?. I've tried to change the places in the package.json file that says html to php. but it doesnt work, i get this error "Cannot GET /". Works great with html. Love the video btw!
No, you can't use it with PHP, only static sites.
@@KevinPowell Okay, thanks for the quick answer :)
Can someone tell me how to set a branch? The deploy context option doesnt show on my account. Google didnt help either
is it normal for site deploy to take long, coz mine s taking too long. thanks any help will be appreciated

how much money can be made by learning only html css and bootstrap?
Can it handle website traffic?
does anyone know any free file managers for a website, i tried using netlify LFS but cant seem to access the assets
Can I use wordpress on netlify?
Why use netlify when you can directly host from your github repo, usung github pages? What is the benefit?
Yeah exactly. I don’t get it?
Can't turn private repos into GitHub pages. Netlify is great for when you want your repo private but your site public. And if you are using React / Gatsby / Next JS, you would have to build, upload then deploy. Netlify does the build for you.

my your hair is gray? you are not old at all!
Mentioning a certain ddos/caching service and a competing repository service get my comment removed. Do you have these 2 blocked?
Is it possible to run react file
9:46 If you let Netlify build your website, it will not publish it if the build fails
Hi 👋, is free hosting services good for an important project . Does it matter ??

Everything on the internet is free, if you are passionate enough to find it.
