I want to build a “pirate portfolio” of all my personal fan works. There’s manga, anime, documentaries, book chapters, all sorts of things I’ve translated myself from Russian and English. Mostly Japanese, British and modern Russian content. No USA.
What do you guys think would be the best place to host the website? Not the content itself, which I plan on uploading to mega until I can afford to build a small home server.
I live in a “pirate-friendly” country (Brazil), but it won’t make any difference if the website platform itself is located in a regulated country, am I right? They can have it taken down anyway.
I’m thinking of nothing special, even a simple rentry page, minimally customized, would do.
So, what do you guys think I should do to protect my website from being randomly taken down? How to post the links? Where to host the websites? Thanks!
If I were doing this and lived in a country that’s not hostile to piracy, I’d look up webhosting providers in my country. I’d then learn a little HTML and CSS at https://www.w3schools.com/html/ and just write pages in Notepad++ and upload them to the server.
If my host dumped me, it would be ridiculously simple to re-upload the files to a new host.
Good to know there’s a way to keep an easy re-uploadable backup in case the site goes down. I hadn’t thought about learning some HTML and CSS, thanks for the tip!
HTML is pretty fun and easy. Here are some example websites that explain why an HTML+CSS site is a good idea.

You do not need to learn Html & css (ofc you can if you want to). You can find a template for a simple blog on github and deploy it to your server.

If you prevent search engines from crawling your site via robots.txt and use cloudflare free and a DMCA-ignored host (just search it) you’ll be fine. Don’t use a .com domain, use .ph .md .is .today, stick with the domains archive.today uses and you’ll be good. If you ever get kicked off of cloudflare, just point your DNS back towards your host.
if you’re to buy a domain at any point, do what every steam scammer I’ve seen do, use a privacy company to hide your real name and details. Stuff like PrivacyGuardian is pretty common and is a nice extra layer of security so people can’t grab your name off of a WHOIS search
