What do you guys think would be the best place to host the website? Not the content itself, which I plan on uploading to mega until I can afford to build a small home server.

Please do not host a website on a home server. Let alone a piracy oriented one.

Unless you have strong knowledge of cybersecurity best practices AND keep up to date AND still use some form of CDN to mitigate DDOS attacks, you are begging for your home network to be compromised and/or to be DDOS’;d to oblivion (and most ISPs will be fairly cross at that point). Also, if you DO have said knowledge then you have even more reasons to never do this

I also question the wisdom of making a portfolio of all the questionably legal shit you have done since a lot of the things that make Brazil “safe” for these kinds of activity (low purchasing power and nobody gives a fuck) also makes it easy to be made an example of with no repercussions. But… you do you.

If I were doing this and lived in a country that’s not hostile to piracy, I’d look up webhosting providers in my country. I’d then learn a little HTML and CSS at https://www.w3schools.com/html/ and just write pages in Notepad++ and upload them to the server.

If my host dumped me, it would be ridiculously simple to re-upload the files to a new host.

I don’t know for hosting but if you want to get something running quickly Hugo has theme support:

Otherwise you could whip up a few html pages and use tailwindcss to help make things look a little nicer.

Or just do everything manually :)

If you want to do this for free, you could always use a dynamic DNS provider like NO-IP or DuckDNS to get a free hostname.

Then you can use a static site generator to generate a site and use NGINX, Traefik, or similar to create a simple web server (with a reverse proxy that uses SSL to provide HTTPS) to host the content directly from your computer.

Currently, I use this method to host a couple of services that my friends and I use, such as Kavita, qBittorrent web UI, and a simple kanban board.

You could use a static site generator (like Hugo or Zola), then you could stick the site wherever you want, from GitHub pages to local website hosters. Another interesting option would be putting it on Tor or i2p. You can setup those programs to host your website on your computer easily.

You can create a simple static website and deploy it to Vercel for free. You can buy a domain name and attach it pretty easily, but it’s not needed (by default website will have .vercel.app domain).

Onionshare.

i host my site on BlueHost with WordPress because it’s fairly cheap, easy, no set up (WordPress pre installed).

You do have to know how to use WordPress (not any harder than using Excel, really).

Once big tech starts to monitor everyone in the west using AI, Brazil will be the place to be… :)
