Hello GitHub Community,
I would like to clarify whether my website is permitted under the GitHub Pages acceptable-use policy.
Website: https://radio69zsivanyok.hu/
Repository: https://github.com/kingdavidglad/radio69-zsivanyok-podcast
My website is a Hungarian-language editorial magazine about radio programming, music, and the Zsiványok Podcast. It publishes informational articles and links to related content.
I would like to monetize the website using Google AdSense display advertising and occasional, clearly labeled sponsored articles or advertising placements.
The website does not operate an online store, process customer payments, sell subscriptions, or provide software as a service. Its primary purpose is to publish editorial and informational content.
Could you please clarify:
Is this type of editorial website permitted on GitHub Pages if it displays Google AdSense ads?
Are clearly labeled sponsored articles or paid advertising placements permitted?
Would a GitHub Pro subscription change the applicable GitHub Pages restrictions?
If this use is not permitted, what hosting alternative would you recommend?
I would appreciate guidance based on the current GitHub Pages policy so I can make sure the website complies with GitHub's terms.
Thank you for your help.
