Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing. Multiple stories with their own “sections” (?) and a chapter selection for each. Maybe a home page or profile page to just briefly detail myself or whatever, I don’t know. It doesn’t have to be fancy, and I apologize for not knowing how to describe this well. I’ve just been searching and searching and I don’t know what to look up to find what I want, it’s extremely frustrating. Any help is greatly appreciated.
A static site generator (Hugo would be great for your needs) and host the files on a CDN like bunny.net. It costs $1/month for 100 GB transfer included and you pay 1 cent/GB above that. But I sincerely doubt a small personal website that’s mostly text will serve more than 100 GB/month.
Hosting on a CDN is amazing because they have dozens of redundant distribution points all over the world, can easily scale to traffic spikes, you never have to worry about consuming too much CPU or RAM or about security issues etc.
