How to create a website?

But this is not Scratch related.
I suggest you to learn HTML and JS (JavaScript) to make a website. Once you get used to it, it will be very easy. Then, you'll need to find servers to host your site, but you have to pay for them. I actually don't know this step much.
Otherwise, you can use Weebly or Wix, those are good and free website making tools.

The advice above is good but not the best, what you'll want to do is to download some type of web server for your computer and run local websites so that you'll be able to play around and see how different languages work.
For Windows I would recommend XAMPP
This will allow you to play around with PHP, MySQL, and HTML/CSS/JS

I hope this will help you

You'll need:
Content
A Server
A Domain Name

That's it!

you can get a free one that's easy to edit through google sites but the tools are limited aside from html embeds supported, and you'll have to pay for a domain name

You can get free domains from freenom though

but, scratch.mit.edu domain costs money?

Of course it does.

I wanted to do a scratch 3 mod called physical.scratch.mit.edu
it's because?

MIT owns the domain - you can't make a subdomain for it.

scratch.mit.edu is the subdomain “scratch” under the second level domain “mit” under the top level domain “edu” under the root name server

Edit: This means you can't have “physical.scratch.mit.edu”

You can't - Scratch owns the domain “scratch.mit.edu”

This is how URLs work:
An example with Scratch forums: (scratch.mit.edu/discuss)
You can read URLs right to left.
“/discuss” is a folder on the site, in this case, the Discuss homepage.
“edu” is the type of site it is (in this case, educational). Certain are free, others are not.
“mit” is the name of the website itself. Remember, Scratch is not a website on it's own.
“scratch” is the name of a specific server from that site, in this case, the Scratch servers.

It is… Scratch.mit.edu is a domain name (one that happens to be a subdomain of mit.edu). https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/ is a URL, where https is the protocol, scratch.mit.edu is the hostname, and /discuss/ is the path. (Here then the second-level domain belongs to MIT, but in New Zealand for example, we have second-level domain names that don't belong to any company, like co.nz)

You can try signing up for GitHub and then in Glitch, you can sign in using GitHub and then once you have signed in, click on “New Project” and then click “hello-webpage”, and then your website will be at (Your website's name).glitch.me

Isn't Scratch made using GitHub? If it is, then https://scratch.mit.edu is technically a custom website for https://llk.github.io (LLK is a GitHub user that creates Scratch here)

I would first physicalscratch.github.io
and then physical.scratch.mit.edu

Well, I guess your only option is to create the website using GitHub. You can create an account in GitHub called “physicalscratch” and then the default website that it can be accessed in is https://physicalscratch.github.io

In GitHub, I don't really understand where you get and create your files from. It's just too complicated for some users.

Yes, I know, I was trying to make it simpler for them (we also have them in the UK like co.uk)

No, as Scratch is not hosted using Github.

Again, this is impossible. Read my post. You do not have access to the Scratch.mit.edu servers.

Or, you can host your own website. Your idea is probably easier though. You have to remember what ScratchDiogoh is trying to do is impossible.

Scratch 3's development is handled using GitHub, but they host it on their own servers (except for previews). If scratch was a custom domain for a GitHub site, community features wouldn't work (like in the previews).

A good free way to jump in and make a site with HTML/CSS/JS is Neocities.org. It has some nice features, and you get a .neocities.org subdomain and plenty of space for images and code. Glitch is pretty good too, and lets you write serverside code in node.js as well.
