You have complete flexibility on how you host your site with CloudCannon.

---

CloudCannon Hosting

CloudCannon provides reliable, easy-to-set-up hosting. CloudCannon automatically builds your site, all you need to do is point your domain at CloudCannon servers. CloudCannon also provides Testing Domains for all sites.

Some features such as Internationalisation, Custom 404 Pages and Authentication require CloudCannon as your hosting provider.

---

GitHub Pages

If your site is already on GitHub Pages, you just need to connect the repository to CloudCannon. All updates made on CloudCannon get pushed back to GitHub which will update the GitHub Pages website.

---

Webhooks

GitHub and Bitbucket support webhooks which request a URL you’ve configured every time there’s a commit. You can use this to run a script which builds your site and deploys it anywhere you want.

Travis CI is a popular (and free) option for doing this. Jekyll has a guide for building sites with Travis CI.

FTP

CloudCannon FTP syncs updates to your files with your existing hosting provider. Another option is ftploy in combination with Git to get all the benefits of source control.
