bloopcommitsWebsite bana li, ab use internet par live karna hai, aur abhi paise nahi lagane. Is guide mein paanch free jagah ek hi table mein hain: GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify Free, Vercel Hobby aur WordPress.com Free. Har ek ka limit aur catch wahi hai jo uske apne official page par likha hai. Hamne koi number apni taraf se nahi daala, aur jahan page par number nahi mila, wahan sirf limit ki kism batayi hai.
Pehle ye padho
- Limits badalti rehti hain. Kuch bhi live karne se pehle neeche diye official pages khud kholkar dekh lo.
- Is guide mein paid plans ke prices nahi hain, sirf free plan ki baat hai.
- "Kaun sa kab" wala hissa advice hai, guarantee nahi. Kaun sa tumhari site ke liye fit baithta hai, ye site ke type par depend karta hai.
Hosting aur static site: do shabd
| Shabd | Seedhi bhaasha mein |
|---|---|
| Hosting | Website ki files ko internet par rakhna, taaki koi bhi link kholkar dekh sake. |
| Static site | Ready files: HTML, CSS aur JavaScript. GitHub ke docs ke hisaab se GitHub Pages isi tarah ki files repository se leta hai aur website publish karta hai. |
| Hosted CMS | Aisa platform jahan tum browser mein hi site banate aur likhte ho (jaise WordPress.com), files khud upload nahi karte. |
| Soft limit | GitHub ke docs mein jaise "soft bandwidth limit": limit paar karne par kya hoga ye unki policy par hai, aur docs ke hisaab se GitHub tumhe email bhej sakta hai ya site serve na kar paye. |
| Credit | Netlify ka mahine ka hisaab: har cheez (bandwidth, deploy, requests) kuch credits kharch karti hai. |
Paanchon ek table mein
| Naam | Limit (unke page ke hisaab se) | Catch | Static ya CMS | Custom domain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GitHub Pages | Site 1 GB se badi nahi. Soft bandwidth limit: 100 GB per month. Soft limit: 10 builds per hour. | Online business, e-commerce ya SaaS chalane ke liye nahi hai. | Static (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) | Haan |
| Cloudflare Pages (Free) | 500 builds per month. 20,000 files per site. 25 MiB per file. | Har file 25 MiB tak hi. Docs ab naye projects ke liye Workers ka zikr bhi karte hain. | Static (server-side code ke liye alag Pages Functions) | Haan (docs: Free plan mein 100 per project) |
| Netlify Free | 300 credit limit / month. | Mahine ke credits khatam, to site agle billing cycle tak paused state mein jaati hai. | Front-end (Free card mein Functions bhi listed hain) | Haan (SSL ke saath) |
| Vercel Hobby | Non-commercial personal use only. | Ads lagana bhi docs ke hisaab se commercial usage hai. | Front-end / static (docs ke fair use examples mein static sites aur frontend apps) | Haan (docs: Hobby par 50 domains per project) |
| WordPress.com Free | WordPress.com subdomain, 1 GB storage, unlimited pages aur posts. | Custom domain nahi, plugin installation nahi, aur visitors ko WordPress.com ads dikhte hain. | Hosted CMS | Nahi (Free plan mein) |
Ek ek karke: limit, catch, aur kab sochna
1. GitHub Pages
- Limit: "Published GitHub Pages sites may be no larger than 1 GB" aur "soft bandwidth limit of 100 GB per month". Soft limit of 10 builds per hour bhi hai (docs ke hisaab se ye custom GitHub Actions workflow se publish karne par lagu nahi hoti).
- Catch: docs saaf kehte hain ki GitHub Pages ko free web hosting ki tarah online business, e-commerce site ya SaaS chalane ke liye nahi use karna. Sensitive transactions (passwords, card numbers) ke liye bhi nahi.
- Aur: ek account par sirf ek user ya organization site ban sakti hai, aur Free plan par Pages public repositories mein available hai.
- Custom domain: haan, github.io ya apna domain, dono.
2. Cloudflare Pages (Free plan)
- Limit: Builds per month 500 (Pro 5,000, Business 20,000). Free par ek waqt mein 1 build. Builds 20 minute ke baad timeout ho jaate hain.
- Catch: ek site mein up to 20,000 files, aur ek file ka maximum size 25 MiB. Bade files ke liye docs R2 ka rasta batate hain.
- Projects: ek account par 100 Pages projects. Isse zyada ke liye docs dusre products batate hain.
- Docs ke home page par notice hai: Workers zyada tar Pages use cases support karta hai, aur naye projects Workers se shuru karne ko kaha gaya hai. Isliye chunne se pehle dono dekh lo.
- Custom domain: haan, Free plan mein 100 per project.
3. Netlify Free
- Limit: pricing page ke Free card par "300 credit limit / month" likha hai, aur "Add Custom domains with SSL" bhi.
- Catch: FAQ ke hisaab se jab site apni monthly usage limit tak pahunchti hai, wo agle billing cycle ki shuruaat tak paused state mein chali jaati hai. Free plan par hard monthly limits hain jo paar nahi ho sakti.
- Credits kaise kharch hote hain (page ke Usage credits section ke hisaab se): production deploy 15 credits each, bandwidth 20 credits per GB, web requests 2 credits per 10k requests, compute 10 credits per GB-hour.
- Free card ki list mein Functions, Blob storage, Global CDN aur unlimited deploy previews bhi hain.
4. Vercel Hobby
- Limit: Fair Use Guidelines ke hisaab se Hobby teams non-commercial personal use only ke liye hain. Commercial usage ke liye Pro ya Enterprise plan chahiye.
- Catch: commercial usage ki definition mein payment maangna ya process karna, product ya service ka vigyapan, site banane ya host karne ke liye payment milna, affiliate links jab site ka primary purpose ho, aur advertisements (jaise Google AdSense) shamil hain. Donations maangna commercial usage nahi maana gaya.
- Typical monthly usage guidelines (Hobby): Fast Data Transfer pehle 100 GB, Function Invocations pehle 1,000,000.
- Custom domain: haan, limits page ke hisaab se Hobby par 50 domains per project.
5. WordPress.com Free
- Ye static hosting nahi, hosted CMS hai: browser mein site banti hai.
- Limit: FAQ ke hisaab se free plan mein WordPress.com subdomain, 1 GB storage, unlimited pages aur posts, aur pichhle 7 din ke basic stats milte hain.
- Catch: custom domain, plugin installation aur ad-free browsing free plan mein nahi hain. Plans page par bhi likha hai ki free sites par visitors ko WordPress.com ads dikhte hain.
- Paid plans bhi hain; unke prices is guide mein nahi hain, pricing page par dekh lo.
Kaun sa kab (advice, guarantee nahi)
| Tumhari situation | Pehle ye dekho | Kyun |
|---|---|---|
| Portfolio ya college project, ready files | GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages ya Netlify Free | Static files ke liye bane hain, aur limits chhoti site ke liye aaram se kaafi dikhti hain (apni site ka size aur traffic khud check karo). |
| Site se kamai hogi (dukaan, ads, affiliate, client ka kaam) | Pehle har page ki terms padho | GitHub Pages online business ke liye nahi hai, aur Vercel Hobby non-commercial only hai. |
| Bina code ke blog ya site | WordPress.com Free | Hosted CMS hai. Dhyan: custom domain aur plugin installation free plan mein nahi. |
| Bahut bade files ya bahut zyada visitors | Cloudflare ki 25 MiB per file, GitHub ki 1 GB aur 100 GB, Netlify ke credits | Yahin free plan ki limits sabse pehle chubhti hain. |
Step by step: chunne ka tareeka
- Apni site ka type likho: ready files (static) ya blog / CMS. Ye pehla filter hai.
- Likho ki site se kabhi kamai hogi ya nahi: ads, payment, affiliate, client ka kaam. Agar haan, to GitHub Pages aur Vercel Hobby ki terms pehle padho.
- Site ka size dekho: sabse badi file kitni badi hai (Cloudflare: 25 MiB), poori site kitni badi hai (GitHub: 1 GB), kitni files hain (Cloudflare: 20,000).
- Traffic ka andaaza lagao: GitHub ka soft bandwidth limit 100 GB per month hai, Netlify ke 300 credits bandwidth aur requests mein kharch hote hain.
- Custom domain chahiye? Free WordPress.com par nahi milta; baaki chaaron ke official pages par custom domain ka tareeka dekho.
- Jo do ya teen options bache, unke official limits page ek baar phir kholo (limits badalti rehti hain) aur ek chhoti test site pehle live karke dekho.
- Jo chuna uske limit aur catch is table mein apni copy mein likh lo, taaki baad mein bhoolo nahi.
Banaya hua example: Netlify ke 300 credits ka hisaab
Ye ek banaya hua hisaab hai, kisi asli site ka nahi. Page ke Usage credits section ke rates se: bandwidth 20 credits per GB hai. Maan lo ek mahine mein kuch aur use nahi hua, aur sirf bandwidth kharch hui. To 300 credits ka matlab 300 / 20 = 15 GB bandwidth. Agar usi mahine 10 production deploys bhi kiye (15 credits each = 150 credits), to bandwidth ke liye bache 150 credits, yaani (150 / 20 = 7.5 GB). Asli site mein requests aur compute bhi credits khaate hain, isliye ye sirf soch samajhne ka tareeka hai, guarantee nahi.
| Cheez | Credits (page ke rate ke hisaab se) | Banaya hua hisaab |
|---|---|---|
| Mahine ke Free credits | 300 | 300 |
| 10 production deploys | 15 credits each | 150 |
| Bache credits | - | 150 |
| Bandwidth | 20 credits per GB | 150 / 20 = 7.5 GB |
Aam galtiyan
- Ek jagah ke number ko doosri jagah par bhi sach maan lena: har page ke apne limits hain.
- Vercel Hobby par ads ya affiliate links lagana: docs ke hisaab se wo commercial usage hai.
- GitHub Pages par dukaan ya payment wali site chalana: docs ke hisaab se uske liye nahi hai.
- Netlify ke credits ka dhyan na rakhna: limit par site paused state mein ja sakti hai.
- WordPress.com Free se custom domain ya plugin ki ummeed rakhna: free plan mein ye nahi hain.
- Static hosting par aisi site daalna jise server-side code chahiye: pehle dekho ki platform ke paas uske liye alag feature (jaise Cloudflare Pages Functions, Netlify Functions) hai ya nahi.
- Kisi ek ko "sabse achha" maan lena: kaun sa fit baithta hai ye tumhari site par depend karta hai.
Final checklist
- ☐ Site ka type likha: static ya CMS.
- ☐ Soch liya ki site se kamai hogi ya nahi, aur us hisaab se terms padhi.
- ☐ Sabse badi file, poori site ka size aur files ki ginti dekhi.
- ☐ Bandwidth ya credits ka rough andaaza lagaya.
- ☐ Custom domain chahiye ya nahi, aur wo option mein hai ya nahi, ye dekha.
- ☐ Chune hue platform ka official limits page abhi kholkar dekha.
- ☐ Pehle ek chhoti test site live karke dekhi.
