Wow 😄 , Learned so much in just 6 minutes of video , Thank you. Question: What if I want to deploy a online business website using Azure Static Web App ? How is that possible because Github is only for developers ? Can we connect Azure Static Web App to some other hosting or Azure itself can host my files ?

Right now it's just Github. Although we've received a lot of feedback that people would like other providers as well. Which source control would you want to use? Or direct publish?

Also can I use Azure as hosting service ? . Like Azure App Service. I think Azure App Service will be heavy for static pages, because it's used to host .NET application.

Below is the sentence from Github Pages GitHub Pages is not intended for or allowed to be used as a free web hosting service to run your online business, e-commerce site, or any other website that is primarily directed at either facilitating commercial transactions or providing commercial software as a service (SaaS).

So how can one use Github repository as free web hosting service to run online business or e-commerce site which includes commercial gain ?

You can also host a static site from a Azure storage account. No restrictions. clemens.ms/hosting-a-static-site-o...
