I haven't used GitHub pages so I'm not actually sure if it provides compute or purely static file hosting, which is why I removed it from my quote.

Although it's my understanding that GitHub has much tighter content restrictions than the others. So you can't host commercial projects or anything the GitHub org finds 'icky'.

I don't think that's accurate. What's your source?

> GitHub Pages is not intended for or allowed to be used as a free web-hosting service to run your online business, e-commerce site, or any other website that is primarily directed at either facilitating commercial transactions or providing commercial software as a service (SaaS). GitHub Pages sites shouldn't be used for sensitive transactions like sending passwords or credit card numbers.

> In addition, your use of GitHub Pages is subject to the GitHub Terms of Service, including the restrictions on get-rich-quick schemes, sexually obscene content, and violent or threatening content or activity.


> sexually obscene content

Ah, so pro-diversity activism websites are out of the question for GitHub then, if not at the moment then definitely in three years time.
