Project hosting sites that provide web site hosting

I wish to start up an open source project and have been thinking about project hosting sites. I've bee开发者_运维百科n hearing suggestions to try something other than SourceForge. However, one thing SourceForge has that I haven't seen in other project hosts is its web site hosting. I would like to eventually set up a semi-professional, official site for regular people to visit and get my software. SourceForge's web space would make that easier. Are there any other project hosting services that provide such a web space that I may have missed?

Github has the pages feature that is integrated with the repo. It also a builtin wiki.

Google Project hosting doesn't provide a website in the style Sourceforge does. On Google Project hosting it is somehow integrated in the online repository, though I think it fits nicely, it's clean, you have a wiki and download page, everything in place.

You may take a look at it. Here's an example of one of the projects hosted by Google itself.

I will suggest you to go with these well known and well managed sites for hosting your project.

In my opinion you should not worry about the marketing site right now. You can find some very free/cheap hosting available. And if your project is doing good, you can actually approach some hosting provider to provide you ad supported hosting.

• SourceForge
• CodePlex
• Google Code

There are many ways to create sites for free on the web, e.g. Google Sites -- and by paying some modest amount to a domain name vendor, you can have such sites appear on your domain. Why does it matter to you if the free sites are tightly connected to the project hosting part of the equation, or more loosely connected, as in the case of Google's offerings?

http://patch-tag.com, a hosting for darcs, allows darcsit (gitit) wikis associated with projects; the repo must also be the source for the wiki. (An example.)

This is probably a quite common feature among the current code hosting sites.
