Hi,

I would like to host my custom ___domain website. I already have the website and it was previously hosted in github (long story, now I have forgotten the password and email id associated with the GitHub account)

I like to have the functionality of posting to website directly from mobile phone (Android). Could anyone suggest me how do I do it?

I know WordPress has this. Are there any better alternatives?

Thank you.




Either:

a.) Manually modify your web page either through the existing files hosted by your provider, or by pushing something via ftp/git.

b.) Use a content management system (CMS), either custom or third party, to update content using whatever methods are in place (usually some sort of dashboard).

Additionally, note that many popular site builders (e.g. Squarespace) offer a mobile app for editing on the go.


Thanks for the recommendations. I am more looking for an app sort of, that allows to post directly.

I will look into CMS.

In regards to Squarespace like site builders, I have already ___domain and my website (just basic html and css). So, I am just looking for a service/system that allows me to host and it's app let me post directly.


There are tools built for this use case. One example is https://forestry.io


Have you used forestry ?


You could always just embed your own twitter feed, depending on how much content you intend on posting.
