My original intention with this page was to simply save useful links so I could refer back to them, but I thought it might be better to include some of my thoughts
on why I made certain decisions (e.g. website hosting) to help anyone else looking to build a website from scratch. You can follow development of my website
and make suggestions on <a href="https://github.com/balajsra/personal-website" target="_blank">GitHub</a>. If you have any questions, feel free to <a href="contact.html">contact me</a>.

<h1>Website Hosting</h1>

I originally opted to create my own site and host it on U of M Servers. Information on how to do this can be found on the
<a href="http://www.umich.edu/~umweb/how-to/homepage.html" target="_blank">UMICH Information and Technology Services website</a>. Some limitations I found
with this were that I would have to manually upload my website files to the afs directory as the SFTP process described did not work for me. Additionally,
the domain name for U of M hosted websites take the form <b>http://www-personal.umich.edu/~youruniqname/</b> which is clearly not ideal.
the domain name for U of M hosted websites take the form <b>http://www-personal.umich.edu/~youruniqname/</b> which is clearly not ideal. You can sort of
get around this by enabling <a href="https://support.google.com/domains/answer/4522141?hl=en" target="_blank">web forwarding</a> on Google Domains.
All this does is redirect traffic from your custom domain to the U of M domain. This might be ok for you, but I would prefer to have my website show
up at the domain I purchased. Per <a href="https://vesikar.com/" target="_blank">Yash Vesikar</a>'s recommendation, I looked into <a href="https://pages.github.com/" target="_blank">GitHub Pages</a>
to host my website directly from a GitHub repository. This comes with the added benefit that changes are live as soon as you push them to the <b>master</b> branch
of your &lt;username&gt;.github.io repository. I found <a href="https://trentyang.com/how-to-setup-google-domain-for-github-pages/" target="_blank">Trent Yang's post</a>
about setting up Google Domain for GitHub pages very useful.
