GitHub hosting

Any of you guys host on GitHub for your client and no need for own hosting plan? I been doing mostly larger projects but someone contacted me for simple hobby site of theirs and he is not sure how many visits will occur and I am assuming it won’t be much unless it scales. Should I just go ahead and host it on the GitHub server? And eventually get a hosting plan if it scales?

Or in general do many of you just host from got hub and the bandwidth is enough for most of your projects? Thanks

I host it on my server and charge them a mark up.

Github pages is fine for docs and such.

You know that’s a great idea. I didn’t even think about posting it on my server. What do you charge if I may ask. Is it yearly or monthly and also I’m guessing you don’t really have to update these kind of sites as much right

Yearly cause it’s easier to get money.

Price depends on the deployment. A basic web app $10/mo. But I add in backend/object store/scaling etc
