<h1>12 cent blog</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p class="lead">Hosting a website at (almost) no cost.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Yes, the title is correct.
|
||
<a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1191035">Well, actually</a> it is 0.119 € per
|
||
month or 14.28 € for 10 years.</p>
|
||
<p>To be fair, it was a special offer and only covers the domain.
|
||
Fortunately, my provider, <a href="https://www.netim.com/en">Netim</a> has a free hosting plan with fits my needs.
|
||
I even get email hosting with my own domain.
|
||
There are also services like <a href="https://neocities.org">Neocities</a> where you can host your website for free if you are willing to live with a subdomain.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="why-should-i-xyz-is-free">Why should I? XYZ is free!</h2>
|
||
<p>Yes, you can post wherever you want.
|
||
𝕏 (formerly known as Twitter) is free<sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">1</a></sup>, Mastodon is free, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Reddit, you name them, are all free, but you are giving up your freedoms.
|
||
Mastodon might be a little better than the rest, but ultimately you depend on the host to let you post there.
|
||
And they can block you and delete all your data without even giving you any notice.
|
||
I hope you have a backup.</p>
|
||
<p>Hosting this blog allows me to write whatever I want.
|
||
Sure, Netim could also block me and delete my data, but since I use <a href="https://gohugo.io">Hugo</a> I always have everything backed up on my system anyways.
|
||
In a matter of hours I could be up and running on another hosting provider.</p>
|
||
<p>I can also use any format I want and have nearly endless possibilities to customize my blog.
|
||
The sky is the limit.
|
||
For example am I hosting my own <a href="/fotos">photos</a> instead of using Instagram and my own <a href="/micro">microblog</a> instead of using Twitter/Mastodon.
|
||
Whatever media I plan to share in the future, there is a solution out there.
|
||
Want comments? I’m trying <a href="https://cactus.chat">Cactus Comments</a> at the moment.</p>
|
||
<p>Let me know what you think!</p>
