Gitee Pages ceased service, but the community’s open source road is still bright

With the rise of GitHub, more and more programmers and open source communities are beginning to use code hosting platforms. However, with the adjustment of domestic policies, Gitee Pages (code cloud page service) has officially stopped serving on September 1, 2021, which is a big blow to the majority of open source developers.

Gitee Pages is a free static web page hosting service provided by Code Cloud. It allows developers to use web pages to express their projects and supports custom domain names. Compared with other foreign website hosting services, Gitee Pages has more favorable prices and faster access speeds. Moreover, it is fully connected with Gitee's code hosting service, making the release and maintenance of projects more convenient.

However, due to the complexity of the domestic environment and changes in policies, Gitee Pages' suspension of service is not an exception. For the code cloud ecosystem, the closure of Gitee Pages is undoubtedly a huge problem. According to official data, the Gitee Pages service had hosted more than 870,000 static web pages before it was shut down. These web pages involved various open source codes, documents, tools, blogs, etc.

Although Gitee Pages' suspension of service has caused considerable losses, we believe that the true open source spirit will lead the community to continue. Although the code cloud page service is suspended due to policy reasons, the enthusiasm of the community remains unabated. Perhaps while we are leaving, there are still many people working hard for the future of innovation using open source methods.

At this moment, we should see the continued active nature of open source rather than the lost hope. In the open source community, teams and developers will continue to explore and improve technology, inherit and share experience, and continue to create a better world with an open attitude. Whether it is alternative domestic hosting tools or looking for more suitable foreign services, the advancement of open source and continuous progress are inevitable.

In this open source community, there are countless hands working together. Although there are some obstacles, they can always overcome obstacles. The open source road of the community is still bright, and we believe that everything has just begun.

Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to all those who have contributed to the Gitee Pages project. They have made great contributions to the open source community. In the future, we will continue to uphold the concepts of "openness, freedom, and sharing" and continue to advance, and shine more brilliantly on the world's open source stage.
