Hello all, I’m wondering if anybody knows the best and cheapest way (at least to start until I start making money with my store) to host an ebook directly on my website? It’s going to be a flip book and I know that most flipbook designers also have hosting on their cloud but I’ve also heard of something called self hosting which I’m not sure which one I should use. It’s going to be a single ebook that I had planned on creating an invisible page for on my store so that I can give it away when people sign up for my newsletter, so basically it’s an lead magnet. I also need some way where I can either password protect it or just overall protect it somehow so that people who do sign up for my newsletter can’t just share it wherever they want with friends and family. So I think I have the whole thought process down on how it’s done I’m just not sure if there’s a good free program I can use to start or a one-time payment program? I’m just trying to avoid paying a $20 fee every month just for one single ebook. Any info anybody can give would be appreciated. Thank you

Hello @Focused4ever ,

Hello and thanks for your response. DO you happen to know are these only if you want to sell as a product on my store or can I use these to give away a free e-book that I want to host on my site?
