Netlify

Netlify is a deployment and hosting platform designed for websites and frontend applications. It automates your deployment workflow, letting you push code and see changes live instantly across a global network. The platform handles SSL certificates, custom domains, and DNS management.

The free Starter plan is available to all users at no cost—no payment or verification required. You get deploy previews for every branch, form handling, a global CDN, and serverless functions included. This makes it ideal for portfolios, class projects, hackathon submissions, and personal websites.

The free plan includes 300 build minutes monthly, 100 GB bandwidth per month, and 125k requests daily—limits that suit most learning projects and small sites. When your project grows, you can upgrade to paid plans for higher limits and additional features like team collaboration tools.
