Host Multiple Sites for Free

Required Tools

Before starting, make sure you have these:
- GitHub account
- Vercel account
- VS Code or any code editor
- Basic knowledge of Git commands

Step 1 – Prepare Your Project

Create a clean folder for each website you want to host.
Example folder structure:

      /mysite

      ├── index.html

      ├── static/

      ├── img/

      └── data/

Keep your files organized — this makes deployment smooth.

Step 2 – Push to GitHub

Create a new repository on GitHub, then open PowerShell or terminal in your project folder and run:

      git init

      git add .

      git commit -m "Initial commit"

      git branch -M main

      git remote add origin https://github.com/YourUserName/mysite.git

      git push -u origin main

This uploads your project to GitHub — your site’s code is now online and ready for deployment.

Step 3 – Deploy to Vercel

Go to Vercel Dashboard → click New Project → select “Import Git Repository”.
Choose your project repo and click Deploy.

After a few seconds, your site will go live at:

https://mysite.vercel.app

Step 4 – Hosting Multiple Sites

You can repeat the process for all your websites. Each project = one GitHub repo = one live site. Example setup:

      pirateruler.vercel.app   → Main Hub

      streamanime.vercel.app → Anime Portal

      forge.vercel.app      → Tools & Scripts

      archives.vercel.app   → Old Projects Archive

Step 5 – Update Your Site

When you change something locally, just push updates again:

      git add .

      git commit -m "Updated content"

      git push

Vercel auto-detects the push and redeploys your site instantly.

Step 6 – Add a Custom Domain (Optional)

You can connect your own free or paid domain from Freenom or other providers.
Go to your Vercel Project → Settings → Domains → Add Custom Domain.

mycoolsite.vercel.app → www.mycoolsite.net

Step 7 – Manage Everything Easily

All your projects are listed under one Vercel dashboard. You can check traffic, logs, and instantly redeploy.

Pro Tip: Use your main site (like The Pirate Ruler) as your central directory listing all your projects.

Step 8 – Keep It Fast

Optimize your site before deploying:

- Compress images under 500KB

- Use static/ for all assets

- Minify CSS & JS

- Use relative links between pages

Final Notes

That’s how I host my entire network — free, automated, and reliable. GitHub keeps my code safe. Vercel serves it fast and globally. Together, they power the Pirate Ruler Network ⚙️🏴‍☠️
