Why change hosting?

Recently, I noted that replit is making some… changes to hosting. Why? Replit is still making a lot of money off of the plans, always on (which they are removing), storage (another newer one), and all those other things I tend to ignore. Well, this change I cannot ignore because now replit is making some forceful changes that will change a lot!

Why change? As I said, you are making money. Now if you want a free domain, starting January, you have to pay for the Hacker or Pro plan. Those aren’t cheap. I want to stay with replit because of how nice there program is here and there interface, but I think I might have to move to Glitch (which I don’t like very much but I like free programming a whole lot better)! I think replit might be making a bad mistake.

I mean no rudeness to the replit company, but I am dissapointed. I came on to replit for the community, and benefits. Now I am stressed about finding a new programming website that runs python programs, flask, and gives free domains. I will not pay.

@MilesWK Soon, you will be able to use Static Deployments for free, as stated by
Replit staff.

Yeah! I wrote that in like 5 minutes so some of my writing might be incorrect. It feels good that @not-ethan liked this. It was a gamble because I didn’t know if moderation would take this down and ban/warn me.

It is true. Reading surrounding messages clarifies that this should apply to all users, not just students.

So, HTML/CSS/JS will be free?

All Repls will be free, you will be able to deploy static HTML, CSS & JS Repls for free within your egress limits.

Correct. Any static website that does not require a full backend will be free with Static deployments, as long as you do not exceed the limit of 10GB of egress.
