I'm in my first year of a business-informatics program at university and have started learning web development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I've built a functional website on my local machine, although I haven't implemented any JavaScript yet. I've also created a repository on GitHub, but I'm unsure how to proceed from here. My goal is to get my website accessible on any device globally. I know I need a domain name, but what steps do I need to take to host my site and ensure I can regularly update it with new features?

You’re almost there! Once your site is working locally and is pushed to GitHub, the next step is deployment. Consider using static hosting services like GitHub Pages, which allow you to publish your site online. Afterward, you can connect a domain name so people can access it anytime. As you improve your site, keep pushing updates. If you're looking for easier maintenance in the future, many developers switch to platforms like Wix or others for scalability. Are you thinking of keeping this as a coding project, or do you want it to become a full-on production site?
Exactly! First, get your website hosted, and then map a domain to it later.
Don't forget to check out various tutorials online! They'll help you understand the hosting landscape better. By the way, what technology stack are you using for your project?
I'm planning to keep it as a coding test bench for now. I want to experiment and learn before moving on to another project, which will be a site for a countryside hotel that will be actually used in business.
