# Github Pages (or elsewhere)

Github pages, or any static web provider, can absolutely be used to host WebGeoDa scaffolding! To export your site as a static, plain ol' JS, HTML, and CSS website, run the following commands:

```
npm run build 
npm run export
```

This will generate a folder named `out` that contains your generated site pages. Rename this to `docs` and then follow the tutorial below to set up a Github pages site:

{% embed url="<https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/creating-a-github-pages-site>" %}

A few important notes here:\
\- GitHub does not have the same performance as Netlify or Vercel\
\- Static site exports will not support all Next.js features, like dynamic routes

With that said, you can take the built `out` folder generated in your repo to **any** static web hosting, or[ host it yourself! ](https://www.instructables.com/Host-your-website-on-Raspberry-pi/)
