Introduction site hosting

한국어

Decision status: GitHub Pages approved on 2026-08-06.

Public site: https://soliestre.github.io/idd/

The site source in ../site/ is plain HTML and CSS. It does not require a server program. This keeps the first hosting choice easy to reverse.

Current decision

Use GitHub Pages as the first public host. Keep the source free of host-only runtime features. Move to self-hosting when a recorded need makes the extra control worth the extra operations.

GitHub Pages first

Benefits:

  • the public repository and deployment history stay close together;
  • no application server needs patching or monitoring;
  • a custom domain can use HTTPS for the connection; this does not prove that the whole site or its operation is safe;
  • the same static files can be moved later.

Costs:

  • there is no server-side application runtime;
  • platform usage limits and deployment rules apply;
  • detailed infrastructure behavior is not under project control.

Self-host first

Benefits:

  • full control over the server, response headers, deployment process, logging, and future runtime features;
  • one infrastructure path if server behavior is already required.

Costs:

  • server security, updates, availability, cost, backups, and incident response become project work immediately;
  • the current static site does not use that extra capability.

Conditions for moving to self-hosting

Revisit the decision when one of these conditions is true:

  • a mandatory feature needs server-side code;
  • platform bandwidth, build, or deployment pressure persists across two reviews;
  • a legal, privacy, or contract requirement demands infrastructure control;
  • required logging, response policy, or operational observation cannot be provided;
  • hosting incidents or vendor dependency cross a limit recorded by the maintainer.

Review the decision every 90 days, beginning on 2026-11-04. Preserve a custom domain during a future move so public links do not need to change.

Current hosting policy

The hosting-neutral static site is deployed with GitHub Pages. Keep relative asset URLs and no host-only runtime dependency. Reconsider self-hosting when server-side behavior, sustained platform-limit pressure, regulatory control, or operational observability requires it.
