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 that 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 noted the files inside
- 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 host a website in less than 15 minutes without setting up a web server or paying for a VM. Azure handles everything for you and even gives you HTTPS for free.
