I want to build a “pirate portfolio” of all my personal fan works. There’s manga, anime, documentaries, book chapters, all sorts of things I’ve translated myself from Russian and English. Mostly Japanese, British and modern Russian content. No USA.

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.

I live in a “pirate-friendly” country (Brazil), but it won’t make any difference if the website platform itself is located in a regulated country, am I right? They can have it taken down anyway.

I’m thinking of nothing special, even a simple rentry page, minimally customized, would do.

So, what do you guys think I should do to protect my website from being randomly taken down? How to post the links? Where to host the websites? Thanks!

    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.
