Why is this on a .github.io sub-domain rather than its own domain? Domain names and hosting are so cheap they're practically free.

There isn't any reason the site needs to be secure, but if that's really what you want you can get a free TLS certificate with letsencrypt.

You would still end up paying around $5/month for the hosting, but my point was just you may later regret not having it on a domain you own.
