Introduction

I was with Hostinger as the hosting company and used WordPress and Elementor Pro design editor. After hearing about Git Pages I made the switch to using GitHub for my hosting, Obsidian for writing in markdown, and Quartz 4 for layout and conversion and upload and deployment to Git Pages. Here I outline my process…

Focus: Breaking away from paid, traditional hosting environments to embrace free, automated cloud deployment.

• The $0 Reality: Why GitHub Pages is completely free, faster, and more secure than shared hosting (no servers or databases to maintain).
• Automation Shock (GitHub Actions): Understanding the magic of “push to deploy”—how a background script builds your site automatically every time you click save.
• Domain Decoupling: How to point a custom domain (like one bought on Hostinger) to GitHub Pages using DNS records (CNAME, A records).
