Hello, This is my first website and I want some feedback from you guys. It’s very basic and I haven’t added much. just wanted to host something so I threw invidious and whoogle instance there. My ISP doesn’t provide a static IP so I had to host it on tor :( what else do you think I should host there? server spec: 15 year old computer with i3 first gen cpu.

Edit: Here is the URL if you want to visit the website: ot6ewcgzioleglf2jp2iofludol3hw5gcaycaj7n5tolf6wcu7ofbzid.onion

    I forgot to mention that I am also behind CGNAT. I bought a VPS for a while but couldn’t keep with the cost. Right now the cheapest way of hosting a website for me is through tor.

      What about using cloudflare? You can setup a tunnel on the hosted server so cloudflare dns knows where to find you without your IP

          They have a free plan that’s all I use. Go to cloudflare.com and register a free account. Point your dns/name servers to cloudflare. Then on your dashboard in cloudflare is a section for tunnels. It will walk you through how to install the tunnel. Then you should be good.

      Have you factored in your power costs? I never do :P buuut with older machines you get closer and closer to burning enough power to justify a hosting bill.

        Shut it off for a month and use the savings to buy a low power Pi!
