## DeployHQ

[DeployHQ](https://www.deployhq.com) is a Git-based deployment service that builds your Jekyll site on its own infrastructure and transfers the rendered `_site/` directory to your own server over SSH, SFTP, FTP, or to cloud storage such as Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, or Rackspace Cloud Files. You connect a GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository, point each environment at a branch, and every push triggers a build.

Build pipelines can run any shell command, so a typical Jekyll project runs `bundle install` followed by `bundle exec jekyll build` and ships the contents of `_site/` to your webroot. Each release is atomic, with one-click rollback, deploy hooks, and per-environment config-file injection — useful for keeping `_config.yml` overrides or `.env` values out of your repository. Multiple environments per project (for example staging and production mapped to different branches) are supported, and there is a free tier available at [deployhq.com/signup](https://www.deployhq.com/signup).

## GitHub Pages

Sites on GitHub Pages are powered by Jekyll behind the scenes, so if you’re looking for a zero-hassle, zero-cost solution, GitHub Pages are a great way to [host your Jekyll-powered website for free](/docs/github-pages/).
