𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝘀 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗔 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗢𝗻 𝗔𝘇𝗨𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗯 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 You want to host a website without paying for a web server or dealing with complex configurations. Azure Blob Storage has a feature called Static Website Hosting. This feature lets you serve HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files directly from a storage container.
Here's how I did it:
- Downloaded a free HTML template from Tooplate
- Extracted the zip file and found the necessary files
- Opened the Azure Portal and searched for Resource groups
- Created a new storage account and enabled anonymous access
- Enabled static website hosting and set the index document name
- Uploaded all website files to the $web container
- Copied the URL and opened the live website
You can use Azure Blob Storage to host your website for free. This approach took less than 15 minutes and didn't require setting up a web server or configuring SSL certificates.
