## Hosting on Amazon S3 and Cloudfront
If you decide to host your Gatsby site to S3 having Cloudfront as CDN you should edit on the Cloudfront panel the "Origin Domain Name" with the real URL of your S3 bucket: **examplewebsite.com.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com** instead of the default one automatically suggested by Amazon **examplewebsite.com.s3.amazonaws.com**.

## Deploying on Github Pages
### Deploying a Project Page
Deploying Project on Github pages can be done with or without Custom Domain. If you choose to use the default setup (without Custom Domain), you will need to prefix your links (ex. gatsbypage.github.io/project-name/about-page - "/project-name" will be prefixed in all your links).

#### Without Custom Domain
First you have to add **gh-pages** as a dev-dependency and create an npm script command to **deploy** your project.

Run `npm install gh-pages --save-dev` or `yarn add gh-pages --dev` (if you have yarn installed). Alternatively, you can place this under *"devDependencies"* in you `package.json` file:

```
"devDependencies": {
"gh-pages": "^1.0.0",
}
```

Then run `npm install` or `yarn install`.

Add a **deploy** command in your `package.json` file.

```
"scripts": {
"deploy": "rm -rf public && gatsby build --prefix-paths && gh-pages -d public",
}
```

In the `gatsby-config.js` add the path-prefix to be added to the links. The path-prefix should be the project name in your repository. (ex. `https://github.com/username/project-name` - your pathPrefix should be `/project-name`).

```
module.exports = {
pathPrefix: `/project-name`,
}
```

In your Github Repository, create a new branch `gh-pages`. Make sure that in `Settings` > `Github Pages` > `Source` your github pages branch is set to `gh-pages branch`.

After the setup, run `yarn deploy` or `npm run deploy`. Preview changes in your github page `https://username.github.io/project-name/`. You also can view your link under `Settings` > `Github Pages`.
