Where Meog Lives
Did you know that every website has a “home”? To be visible worldwide, its pages and code must be stored on a computer connected to the Internet, called a server. This process is known as hosting.
Choosing the Hosting: GitHub
For Meog I chose GitHub. Why?
- It’s free.
- It keeps track of every version (like an automatic backup).
- The code stays public, as in any open-source project.
Going Live with Netlify
But that’s not enough. To make Meog ready for the future, I also use Netlify.
Netlify takes the site from GitHub and publishes it online, offering:
- Databases,
- Serverless functions,
- Automatic updates whenever the code changes.
Domain Connection
Finally, I purchased the domain meog.it and linked it to Netlify. Don’t worry if you’re not an expert: the documentation guides you step by step.
That’s where Meog “lives” and why you can see it on your screen.
Thanks for reading! See you in the next post.
