GitHub pages host only static HTML pages. No server side technology is supported, so Node.js applications won't run on GitHub pages. There are lots of hosting providers, as listed on the Node.js wiki.

If you want to host static pages on GitHub, then read this guide. If you plan on using Jekyll, then this guide will be very helpful.

We, the Javascript lovers, don't have to use Ruby (Jekyll or Octopress) to generate static pages in Github pages, we can use Node.js and Harp.js, for example:

These are the steps. Abstract:

Create a New Repository

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/your-github-user-name/your-github-user-name.github.io.git

Initialize a Harp app (locally):
```
harp init _harp
```

make sure to name the folder with an underscore at the beginning; when you deploy to GitHub Pages, you don’t want your source files to be served.

Compile your Harp app
```
harp compile _harp ./
```

Deploy to Gihub

git add -A
git commit -a -m "First Harp + Pages commit"
git push origin master

And this is a cool tutorial with details about nice stuff like layouts, partials, Jade and Less.

Hi @The-Best-Codes
If your API is serves static content (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), you can deploy it using gh pages. Because GitHub Pages is supports only static sites, and it will not support server-side code.

The best options are Vercel or Heroku..

Can I host NodeJS webpage on GitHub?

I don't think that you can deploy nodejs applications on github pages. Github pages is mostly meant for simple websites which are mostly static. You can deploy your Nodejs projects on platforms like digital ocean or heroku though. Heroku is your best bet I believe for small scale projects. More on reddit.com
