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 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).

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.

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 :)

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 you’re to buy a domain at any point, do what every steam scammer I’ve seen do, use a privacy company to hide your real name and details. Stuff like PrivacyGuardian is pretty common and is a nice extra layer of security so people can’t grab your name off of a WHOIS search

Onionshare.

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

If you prevent search engines from crawling your site via robots.txt and use cloudflare free and a DMCA-ignored host (just search it) you’ll be fine. Don’t use a .com domain, use .ph .md .is .today, stick with the domains archive.today uses and you’ll be good. If you ever get kicked off of cloudflare, just point your DNS back towards your host.

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).
