Publishing a Web Site

Hi All,

My 11 year old son has developed HTML page and to publish it on the internet so that it can be accessed externally. Can you please recommend best way to do it. This is required just for few days so that he can demonstrate it to teachers etc.

We tried few free providers but they have their own templates for home page etc whereas we already have a HTML code ready to go.

Thanks.

    Use Github pages, would be perfect for this sort of thing. Completely free

  • Learning Github Pages is the best free way. Netlify is another free way to publish a static website, assuming it will never get enough traffic to bump off the free tier.

    You can ask the teacher id they can open the index.html file from a USB flash disk in a web browser instead of setting up a real web page in the web.

    • yes we did ask - but they want publicly assesible URL

        For 11yr old kids?? What sort of school is this?

        • This is as a part of The Science Talent Search (STS)

  • Can also use HFS on your home computer: https://www.rejetto.com/hfs/?f=dl

    Teacher can than access it via http://202.202.22.22/ (using the IP address of your home computer)

    If it's just a single HTML file (without external file references like JPG, etc), then you can also upload the file to Google Drive or OneDrive and it will be displayed as opposed to downloaded when those links are visited.

      This opens up allot of ways for hackers to get in if not setup correctly.

        Care to elaborate? As HFS is a controlled environment, it's far more secure on default settings than MS IIS and Apache, and far easier to setup ..

        It also uses uPnP to port forward, so no requirement of manual assignment like IIS and Apache …

    Neocities would fit your needs perfectly. It gives you a few megabytes of hosting room for your HTML files, images, and scripts.
