Hey gamers. I’m planning on hosting a website with some copyrighted content on it (mostly just archiving a bunch of art). What web hosting services do people here like to use? Ideally one that won’t give a fuck that I host copyrighted content. I looked at Ultahost a bit and they seem fine but reddit-logo users seem to say it sucks.

      You get takedown notices because automated systems, or at worst the rights holders legal team, recognize the content.

      If there’s some form of authentication in front of the content then the automated systems and lawyers don’t see it and can’t file takedown notices.

      The hosting provider isn’t gonna be shuffling through all your files to see if one of them is elisa from frozen. They have enough on their plate to begin with.

      If you’re using some kind of easy style make a website bullshit like square space then they might be shuffling through your files to see if one of them is elisa from frozen. The best way to avoid that is not to use anything like that and just write your site with some kind of program or by hand.

        That makes a lot of sense, thank you. I am making the website from scratch (programming in Vue, Docker). I was planning on having everything be visible without a login, but I could take some alternate approach where some content is locked behind a login.
