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.

Thank you!

Why do you need a database? If you want a blog or something that's the same for all the visitors you can use a static site generator

If you want to get started with databases, the file-based SQLite is awesome!

I guess for a DB. You can use sqlite if the website is going to be small. I'd say learn SQL, but you can also use ORMs.

Anonymous from who? None of what you've mentioned will keep the police out for long if you're doing things that catch their attention.

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

If you are more focused on content why not to use something like wordpress? This allows you to write blogs and stuff without coding.

Wordpress needs a database

There's thins like jekyll or Hugo too!

Yes, but you don't need to mess with it. Just enter the username and password during installation and you're set. I think Wordpress is one of the easiest ways to set up a website for people who, like you, aren't intricately familiar with webdev, but have some knowledge.

Does HTMX count for Web 1.0?
0x1C3B00DA@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y
Web 1.0 means no interactivity outside of forms (client to server request<-> response cycle). Web 2.0 was the label used when sites started gaining interactivity, using Javascript.
