There’s also a jillion places ta host static sites with less complexity of the code albeit more complexity to get started for many non-developers. The thing is there was abtime when high schools everywhere were teaching basic HTML so you could be a part of this new internet thing, but now folks don’t think they can have their own chunk anymore separate from the corporations. You still can but the knowledge seems lost & certain technically hurdles like TLS which I mentioned make it just one step more difficult.
Yeah I learnt static HTML and CSS circa 2007, but even then it felt like what we were being taught was very out of date.
I’ve never actually used any form of hosting for my own pages. I’ve run the LAMP stack on my own local server, and I’ve used services similar to WordPress, but never dealt with static web sites hosted by someone else. Do they not make TLS really easy for you in that circumstance?
Many of these will handle the TLS for you, but that supposes you need a specific service. Then & even now you can still host your own website / services at home without any specialized gear (I do). If IPv6 were more common, it would be even easier.
