# Netlify

The WebGeoDa scaffolding template includes a Netlify configuration that does most of the work here. While WebGeoDa's underlying framework, Next.js, is *strictly* best suited to Vercel for hosting, Netlify has benefits for organizations looking for free or open-source sponsored hosting. To start create or link an existing account to [Netlify](https://netlify.com/)

Next, follow the tutorial below the link your Github repo to Netlify:

{% embed url="<https://docs.netlify.com/site-deploys/create-deploys/>" %}

Your website will now automatically build as you push new data and changes to your code.
