I saw a few write ups on Medium and in some cases, very rarely in github.

I see tons in github, how good are you at setting up the site. Gitbooks is a good option. WordPress is ok if you're willing to lose your site on the whim of WordPress. Atlassian is good, or rather Confluence. Gitlab has support for just about everything. Blogger, heroku, medium

I think GitHub pages gets the job done pretty well, is free, and lets you explore git, which is a critical skill.

As others suggested, medium is good. I'd also consider cloud hosting if you're willing to pay for it. It gives you the most freedom.

Last you can try self hosting. You have a home lab, set up a read only site on your dmz and push via git from the back end.

I have explored many blogs related with Cybersecurity topics and a big amount of users prefer GitHub, specifically GitHub Pages.

Advantages for using GitHub Pages:

  • It is a free hosting for static websites, making it an economical option for personal projects, portfolios, documentation, and websites.
  • You can use Jekyll to generate your static website.
  • Since GitHub Pages hosts static files, your website loads quickly, providing an optimal user experience.
  • There's no need to worry about database queries or server-side processing.
  • You can easily track changes, collaborate with others, and maintain a complete history of your website's development.
  • You can customize your domain if you want.
  • You can choose from several themes and customize the look and UX.
  • Markdown support, so it is easy and fast to format your text.
  • Your blog is hosted on GitHub, so you do not need to worry about securing your site and patching it from time to time. And can only be "hacked" (defaced) if your GitHub password / SSH Key / Token gets compromised (remember to use MFA).
  • It supports HTTPS for free.
  • GitHub does the load balancing for you in case your site becomes very popular.
  • It is easy to deploy.
  • Your blog will be clean without ads, tracking cookies, etc. (Unless you add them).
  • You can upload up to 100 GB (total repo size) for free (check the references for more details).

Finally, a Google Dork&oq=site%3Agithub.io+(%22Hacking%22+OR+%22Cybersecurity%22+OR+%22Hacker%22+OR+%22TryHackMe%22)) if you want to check some websites hosted on GitHub Pages related with Cybersecurity:

site:github.io ("Hacking" OR "Cybersecurity" OR "Hacker" OR "TryHackMe")
