Pagehaus vs GitHub Pages
GitHub Pages is free and excellent if you live in Git. Pagehaus is for people who'd rather upload files and have forms, includes and commercial use allowed.
| GitHub Pages | Pagehaus | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | Free; $4 or $10 a month for more |
| Limits | 1 GB per site; soft limit of 100 GB traffic a month; 10 builds an hour | Free: 250 MB, 20 GB traffic. Personal: 5 GB, 200 GB. Pro: 25 GB, 1 TB |
| Publishing | Git commits (with optional Jekyll or GitHub Actions builds) | SFTP, browser upload and editor, API, AI assistants; no build step |
| Source visibility | Public repository on free accounts | Your files are private; only the published site is public |
| Your own domain | Free | Personal and Pro |
| Contact forms | No (needs a separate service) | Yes |
| Shared header and footer | Jekyll includes (a build) | Server Side Includes (no build) |
| Commercial use | Not for running an online business, e-commerce or SaaS | Allowed |
| History of changes | Every change in Git | Keep your own copy; nightly backups on our side |

Choose GitHub Pages if
- you already use Git and like having every change in its history;
- you want your own domain for free;
- your site is a personal or project site, not a business, and doesn't need a form.
Choose Pagehaus if
- you'd rather upload files than learn Git, or you're helping someone who would;
- you need a contact form, or one header shared by every page without a build;
- the site is for a business: a shop, a café, a freelancer's portfolio;
- you don't want the site's source in a public repository.
