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

    You could get a free oracle cloud instance https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/

    Free dns https://freedns.afraid.org/

    Then use letsencrypt to get free SSL certificates

    Then you’ll have a site that is secure and validates correctly with almost all web browsers.

    You could run services in oracle cloud, or use ssh or OpenVPN to proxy traffic to your home server, or other providers free tier machines

      I’d recommend Duck DNS over Free DNS these days.

      And Wireguard over OpenVPN.

      But yes, this is the easiest free way to stand up a solid website. Only other thing I’d add is to put sites and services behind a reverse proxy. Typically I’ve used Nginx but I’m quickly becoming a Caddy convert.

      No matter how many times I authenticate with my card, it never works and their support is rather frustratingly low quality.
