In this article, you will find reasons you should give W3Schools a trial when hosting your next static website ๐ค.
If you wish to learn how to host your first static website on W3Schools, you should check out the article below ๐.
Hosting your Site on W3School Spaces
It was acknowledged and loved by the W3Schools and their CEO ๐
Now let's face the business
Yes, it is free, hosting your static website on W3Schools spaces will cost you $0.00 in total with up to 100 MB of storage, 5 000 requests/month, 5 MB files maximum, and an HTTPS encryption, but you will be limited to only 1 space which is actually more than enough, but if you need to scale up your space, you can upgrade to the paid plan.
If you want more of the free plan goodies, you can upgrade for just $ 2.99 / month which is actually fair enough ๐ฅฐ for 100 000 requests/month, 20 GB data served/month, 1 GB storage, 25 MB files maximum and 10 spaces ๐.
You can choose to make use of any available templates provided by the W3Schools developers for your websites, which will help you focus more on the contents of your website and business part.
W3Schools are good at providing a try-it yourself code editor for each of their programming tutorials, now it's much better when you have a space with them, as you can also edit your HTML files, CSS files, JavaScript files, and any other supported files directly from your W3Schools space dashboard directly from your browser.
The online editor has an emmet for code suggestion and an auto-complete of recently used words ๐ฏ.
Is that not wow-some ๐คญ?
You can preview your file changes on your website by clicking on the preview button from your space code editor, and it is super fast โก.
W3Schools is a freemium educational online school for learning how to code most programming languages and frameworks, with lots of How to do something examples, if you're stuck while building your website on your W3spaces, you can easily switch to their school version site, and look up what you need with Zero Stress) ๐.
Yes!!! all for free ๐คญ.
As a technical writer, we often want our readers to have a test or a preview of what they are going to build along or learn from reading our articles, with W3spaces we can dedicate a space for this purpose, which will make it easier to create, build up, and share in your article.
W3Schools are currently working on creating a domain registration service for every space you created (might be for paid plans though). This feature should be available within August 2021 ๐.
Update: They have released the custom domain feature ๐ฅ
If you're planning to create a space for your portfolio, you will soon not need to write a script for your contact form, as W3Schools are planning of handling that for your hosted platform without stress.
That's it for this article, if you like the features above and would want to have your own space on W3spaces you can check out a quick guide from this article ๐
There are enough spaces to go round ๐คฉ
