"HTTPS is not supported for GitHub Pages using custom domains." - this is what they mean, they weren't specific.
A lot of people work around that by doing GitHub Pages + Cloudflare. It's free, and it gets you all the additional performance benefits that Cloudflare provides. Would probably also prevent you from running into any of these bandwidth limits.

Spot on. They're PAGES for info and such, not free WEBSITES. This is why we can't have nice things. People don't accept a no that's free, when clearly they should.
I don't think there is a useful distinction between PAGES and WEBSITES. https://pages.github.com/ advertises Websites for you and your projects. , and I imagine most of the examples they show at the top get more than 100k requests, since that's not all that much for e.g. documentation or demos for a reasonably popular project. (Although it is possible that the corporate-backed projects in there actually pay for Githu…
If your "pages" are pulling that much traffic then put on your big boy (or girl) trousers, take off the training wheels and get a proper website. GH is not a hosting service. They're "kind" enough to offer free repos and that's not good enough? Y'all have lost your perspective.
Just like there's a difference between pages and sites, there's a difference between grateful and ungrateful. Y'all are like the guest that never leaves, never cleans up, never buys food, etc. That's just not reasonable.

This strikes me as a pretty useless distinction. Github frequently refers them as "sites", i.e. websites, and advertises using them to host Jekyll-generated blogs. This is why we can have nice things. People always push up against limits as long as they aren't shut down.
gh-pages.
The intent of GH's offer is to assist and support OS projects. Not let some wiseass freeloader treat GH like a proper hosting company. Clearly ppl are taking advantage of that, but GH is the bad guy/gal?
gh-pages.
Geez. Why did I bother? Words? They have no value.

I used to host some stuff on nearlyfreespeech. I liked the idea in principle, but keeping my account topped up and them charging me extra fees just to pay them became annoying. I switched to Amazon S3 and couldn't be happier. It was harder to setup but worth it.
If you run a personal site on S3 and you get HN level traffic, you're gonna get a very bad surprise on your bank account at the end of the month.
Github Pages is a special type of hosting. It's first ever transparent hosting. What you see is what is in the repo. By wathching the repo people can be quite sure they won't be hacked or served special JS they dont expect. That's why I'd love to see paid plans.

You can say the same thing for every "static" hosting. As long as you don't run custom code server-side, every line of code run on the client is readable by anyone whichever hosting you use. GitHub Pages offers no more guarantees than "no (custom) code is run on the server". Also I'm pretty confident the 99% of users won't look at the code in advance anyway, even if they can understand what it does.

Assuming of course you trust GitHub.. And you use HTTPS. And you trust HTTPS. And you read the entire code and verified there are no backdoors whatsoever. None. At all.
But i would trust bitcoinwallet at github.io more than a standalone web app
My name is Angela and I do researches on the user experience for different Git tools on the market. I’m kicking off a round of discussions with people who use Git tools. Ideally, I’d like to talk to people that sit on a team of 3 or more. If this is you, I would love to talk to you about your experience with Git tools, or just some of the pain points that are keeping you up at night when doing your jobs.
I’ll just need 30 mins of your time, and as a token of my thanks to those that participate, I’d like to offer a US$50 Amazon gift voucher.
If you’re interested, just shoot me an email with your availability over the next few weeks and we can set up a time to chat for 30 minutes. Please also include your timezone so we can schedule a suitable time (as I’m located in San Francisco). Hope to talk to you soon!
Cheers, Angela Guo 378496625@qq.com
