How to Make a Website?
How do I make a website? Is that allowed? I’ve seen other people do it and add their Scratch projects to it.

How to Make a Website?
No, you're in the right place.
It really depends on what you want, but for just a basic website, you need a (preferably free) hosting service and an understanding of how to make a webpage (which varies across services, but eventually it all gets compiled down to HTML, CSS and JavaScript).
Something such as GitHub pages will allow you to write raw HTML, CSS, and JS, while something like Google Sites (provided you remove all references to your email address) gives you some design tools.

Phew! No, you're in the right place.

Are you able to name any free hosting services?

- Github pages is probably the most reliable one. I would use it unless you hate github/microsoft. Static hosting only
- Cloudflare pages: basically the same as github pages but owned by cloudflare. Static hosting only
- Vercel: Both dynamic and static hosting (eg. you can do backend stuff)
- Pythonanywhere: Python hosting. If you use python I would recommend this
- Glitch: Similar to pythonanywhere but supports more languages. Websites take a few seconds to turn on if they haven't been used in the past 5 minutes.
TLDR:
Static hosting -> Github pages
Python backend -> pythonanywhere
Non-python backend -> glitch

Infinity hosting lets you create a free Wordpress website and use the Wordpress plugins. Wordpress = websites for people who can’t code html, css, JavaScript, and phpPhew! No, you're in the right place.

If you're into blogging you could use Blogger.com and get a sweet <username>.blogspot.com URL.

Wow, that's nice!
I made https://greencuby.com by hosting it on github. Yes, the custom domain is paid, but you can still host them reliably with basically 0 downtime and super fast updating.
I can give you some tutorials I made, it was a series on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlJ599nZns4&list=PLu9kjbafHYiAiUdkpXUZ2Q9wTa0ceKIKa

to be honest i would just use Google Sites. doesn't allow much really advanced stuff, but very simple to use, and, as long as you're ok with your website beginning with How do I make a website? Is that allowed? I’ve seen other people do it and add their Scratch projects to it.
sites.google.comthen ur fine. its also easier to import pictures and stuff from Google Drive since it's integrated

You probably want to add your projects as embedded too. you click the copy link button then copy the embedded iframe code and paste it into the html

It's very simple at the cost of literally everything. It's very not customizavle, just make your own html and host it on github for freeto be honest i would just use Google Sites. doesn't allow much really advanced stuff, but very simple to use, and, as long as you're ok with your website beginning with How do I make a website?
