I wanted my site to be available under the following names: andrew.molyuk.com and molyuk.com, and I couldn’t achieve this on GitHub Pages. So, I decided to use Netlify. As it turned out, deploying Hugo on Netlify is very simple. In this post, I’ll tell you how I did it.

First, we need to create an account on Netlify. After that, we need to create a new site. Click on the “Add a new site” button and follow the instructions. Basically, that’s all we need to do on Netlify to make the site publicly available.

In order for the website to be accessible on the internet, it makes sense to publish it on some hosting platform. Such hosting platforms can be Netlify, GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Firebase Hosting, Surge.sh, Aerobatic, CloudCannon, Neocities, GitBook, Heroku, Rackspace, OpenShift, CloudFront, Fastly, and others.

I decided to publish my website on GitHub Pages because it is free and convenient. Besides, since I already use GitHub to store and manage the source code of my website, it would be a logical choice. In this article, I will explain what needs to be done to publish a website on GitHub Pages using GitHub Actions.
