This is a question that kept creeping up when I was researching which static website provider to choose from. Most of these offer free plans that can be used for general purposes, …

Yeah, those websites all scored 0's on mozilla's scale. Hence, I thought they were opportunities. But thanks for the heads up. As for the price, I did freelancing online. When I fi…
