From the &quot;Why Tho?&quot; linked at the bottom of the page <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.mradford.com&#x2F;post&#x2F;serving-web-sites-with-emmet&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.mradford.com&#x2F;post&#x2F;serving-web-sites-with-emmet&#x2F;</a><p>&quot; Why tho? * It’s kinda neat.<p>* It’s free hosting without the need for a 3rd party account&#x2F;password (you’re not going to get any obnoxious emails).<p>* You can get a simple website running from the comfort of your domain registrar’s admin panel.<p>* Reduce the need for dedicated machines by serving many sites from 1 generic server.<p>Attaching domain specific content to the zone makes sense in some cases (RFC), since the data is decoupled from a specific [web] server. In this case, a string which represents HTML.<p>* It could help lower the barrier to entry to serving sites. Not everyone has the time and&#x2F;or devops knowhow to deploy their own site (and out of the box solutions usually have strings attached).<p>&quot;
