+  * **[[https://pages.github.com/|Github Pages]]** - Is free, but you should familiarize yourself with Git and how Github works when you use this, like understanding push, pull, commit, what a repository is etc. Allows you one user page, and several project pages. Custom domains are possible. Offers CLI and GUI.\\
+  * **[[https://www.namecheap.com/|Namecheap]]** - A paid custom-domain-name service with static site management options. It has a generally good reputation as a quick hosting option for people who just want a site running with their own custom domain name.
   * **[[https://www.digitalocean.com/|DigitalOcean]]** <@melon maybe you can enter your experience here? :)>\\
   * **[[https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/|NearlyFreeSpeech]]** - "Pay for what you use" payment model. Has 25+ progamming languages available to use (including PHP and Node.JS) and the option for using MariaDB. You can upload / connect to your site server via SFTP or SSH. <maybe @starbreaker can elaborate on this? :)>\\
-  * **[[https://aws.amazon.com/|Amazon Web Services]]** - For those who enjoy building their own infrastructure. EC2 service is similar to Virtual Private Servers at other providers and the Route53 service registers domain names. Requires strong linux & CLI knowledge. You might save some money, very flexible.\\

+==== Super Advanced webhosting options:====
+  * **[[https://aws.amazon.com/|Amazon Web Services (AWS)]]** - Particularly advanced option but extremely flexible. It's a paid service for those who enjoy composing their own Web infrastructure. The Route53 service registers custom domain names that can also be routed to offsite hosts, including supporter Neocities pages. Static sites can also be hosted on AWS through S3 (a basic file system on the Web). EC2 service, which requires strong Linux & CLI knowledge, is similar to back-end Virtual Private Servers at other providers. AWS has services for databases, custom e-mail addresses, synchronizing website files with other services, security & access control, Git-like version control, and much more. Once it's set up, it can be run cheaply, as AWS only charges for what you have live.\\
+  * **[[https://azure.microsoft.com/|Microsoft Azure]]** - Mainline competitor to AWS. Provides much of the same flexibility & complexity as AWS, in a different ecosystem & format. Has a greater emphasis on development operations, especially with regard to collaboration. Has fewer services than AWS, but these service catalogs are so big you may not notice that difference.
+  * **[[https://cloud.google.com/|Google Cloud]]** - Competitor to the above 2.  <detail experience with these services here>
