You have built a static website or a statically generated website. Maybe you've built a new Gatsby site or you have built a static site like we did in our last post: https://koalatea.io/building-a-website-with-parcel
Now the question is: Where do you host it? Luckily today we'll give an overview of the steps needed to host your website with Netlify.
Netlify is an all-in-one platform for running web projects. This means you can use Netlify for hosting most if not all your web projects. Netlify is simple to use and setup which works perfectly when you have a basic website you want to get up and open for the world to use quickly.
Setting things up is mostly signing up for accounts so I'll just lay out all of the steps here. We also go over each step in our video.
New site from Git
parcel build index.html
and dist
if you are deploying a static site with ParcelYour site should now be deployed with Netlify and ready for the world to see. You can start sharing your site with the domain Netlify gives you, or Netlify also allows you to set your custom domain. That will be a post for another time since it is different for every domain provider.
