Best platform to host a technical blog?

Question

I'm studying and experimenting with Machine learning, Deep learning as well as cybersec. I want to start sharing written content around what I'm building, experimenting on, and thoughts in general of navigating the tech landscape.Need opinions on if the blog could be better hosted on Github or Medium or my own website through a CMS.

Start writing first! Writing is much harder than figuring out hosting. If it were me, I'd start writing posts on GitHub Gists because it's easy.Not personally a fan of CMSs, dynamic sites, or third-party platforms like Medium, Substack, Hashnode, etc. I would consider GitHub Pages, which you can set up with your custom domain, or perhaps some simple paid services like blot.im or pika.page. Try to keep it low-fuss.

Don't use a CMS or third-party hosting. Use Hugo, or whatever the cool-kid approved static website generator is these days, and throw it on CloudFront/Cloudflare/wherever.

Whatever you do, have your own domain purchased by you.
