    A plugin is used to rsync the contents to our server Make sure to use the correct path from which to deploy content Don't forget to specify the correct domain at remote-path and remote-host properties. Notice the SSH Key is retrieved from the repository secrets.

  4. vercel

    Develop. Preview. Ship.

    Easier alternatives to deploy and host static websites are available of course, most notably Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel and Render. But sometimes you want to have close control over your webserver, or you don't want these parties to manage your DNS, which is usually required. In that case, managing your own server at is a great solution. I like DigitalOcean for hosting my virtual machines (called Droplets), but with a little imagination you can apply this guide to any other provider of virtual machines.
