And I’d like to be able to do it privately too, that’d be cool.

Things I can do –

  • write HTML and CSS
  • register a domain and set up hosting
  • use Filezilla

Things I don’t know how to do –

  • Create databases, I always had someone around to do that for me
  • Self-host
  • Set up an onion site 🧅
  • Set up an eepsite
  • Register a .bit domain

I am more of a content gal than a tech gal, but think of all the cool stuff I could create if I could spin up anonymous websites in a few hours.

    You can get away without a database (and assuming you don’t need anything too complicated, I recommend not using one). I’ve had a good experience with GetSimple - it’s a content management system (like WordPress) but uses regular files instead of a database. Great for basic content, and still easy to set up and manage.

    Self-hosting is a bit complicated if you’re not already comfortable running a Linux server. Not sure about privacy (though I’m not sure how privacy intersects a public-facing website), but there are lots of hosting providers out there. I use DreamHost and have had a great experience there.

      I gotta say GetSimple looks good, but it’s not very convincing that a website builder’s website doesn’t even support https
