Forgive me if I sound gibberish. I use coding as my hobby in my free time (Non IT professional) and thinking to release a website on GitHub or Dropbox.
However, I guess these support The websites that are static in nature. The website which I am developing has form which is crucial where users will fill the details and click on submit in order to get the data.
Now before I dive into paid service of hosting, I would like to first begin with testing stage or host the website for free by using GitHub or so until I get confidence.
So my question- is it possible to run the website that has forms such contact name , number, address etc on GitHub or Dropbox?
Any answer or help, comments, suggestions is much appreciated. Alternative to GitHub are also welcome ( links leading on how to release would be helpful).
Thank you in advance.
I am not sure about hosting a website on Github and dropbox is really a good option or not. However as you are in starting face and you do not have any specific requirements like space and bandwidth and all I would not stop you to host your website on dropbox and github and it is free, you dont have to pay anything. for more information on it click here
I have another two options for you in which you might be interested.
(1) Heroku is one of the most popular platform for hosting your web-site or web-application. You can get up to 5 repositories free on basic account. I think you do not require any database but just in case if you do in future they do provide postgresql. You might find Little-bit challenging in starting for hosting on it as you are not IT professional however you will eventually start learning.

(2) you can host your website on freehosting which is free for 1 year and they provide 2 GB space for your website as you have static page I am sure it wont increase more than that. On top of that they do provide one MySql database too which in case you need.
I hope this helps you.
