How do you deploy a website?

Render Mashape API Platform Fly.io Railway
  1. 1
    Render is a unified platform to build and run all your apps and websites with free SSL, a global CDN, private networks and auto deploys from Git.
    If that sounds like a lot of shit to figure out, it actually is :) Alternatively you can use Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution to do all that work for you. Digital Ocean has App Platform where it can connect to your repo and automatically build your code, pack it into a container, fire up the virtual server and deploy the container on it without the need of you manually doing all these steps yourself. Digital Ocean is not the only one to offer such PaaS, as others have mentioned, you can also check fly.io, Netlify, Render and probably some others that I don't know much about.

  2. Distribute, Monetize, Manage and Consume APIs
    Depending on your deployment model you might want to have a reverse proxy/gateway as a first thing that will process these incoming requests. Most popular is probably Nginx, but it's configuration is so frustratingly annoying that I'd suggest to use something like Kong (which is based on Nginx anyway but has a more manageable way of configuring). The gateway will then pass requests to your app.

  4. Made for any language, for projects big and small.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    I have not tried this, but I’m hearing lots of good things about this https://railway.app/ since Heroku won’t be free anymore.
