I know that there are a lot of options out there, and some of it seems a little shady to me. I researched a little on the freenom webhost, who hosts the .ml domains, would that be a good option?

Dont know about freenom but if you just want to learn and have a website running , for me yunohost was a good way to learn small things about selfhosting in a very simple way , allowing you to run services even if you don’t have experienced sysadmin in the past. Might also be a problem if you really dont know what your doing , but a lot of documentation is available on this subject and easy to find. Along with https://netlib.re/ wich allows you to have a free domain name without hosting services. Also its debian so you can do your thing too. Found it a good way but im noob in the game so may be others will have different views.
thank you! both look very interesting - i am a complete noob, but have a lot of spare time at the moment to get into this:)
you can also look out of the www with https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1821339 on a pi or something https://share.tube/videos/watch/4fe4e1f0-7896-4b8c-bfb8-2ff19c78d8e5 , but may be that is a bit out of topic here … depends on what’s you have in mind ;)
The raspberry pi is not free hardware, and heavily relies on non-free binary blobs (firmware) for operation. If you want a more freedom-friendly single-board computer, Olimex LIME2 is recommended by freedombox and yunohost project, and the Pine64 RockPro64 is a rather good alternative.
In any case, if you go with a single-board computer, keep in mind SD cards are not eternal (very fragile in fact) so you should always have copies of your data or you will loose everything.
yeah thats so true , i mentioned r pi cause its what i find my self to have available :) but Olimex is indeed recommended. I confirmed by experience that SD card ( + cheap Sd cards) are very fragile and you should 123 backup everything to be safe
or use more reliable hardware
Cool if you have a lot of time and want to learn things :)
The three are valid options, but learning/trying the three at the same time can be very demanding so i would personally recommend sticking to maximum two of these options at a time.
Thank you for the advice! In my case, it’s probably the first two, I know a lot of html/CSS etc. But have never really used it in practice - which I think is the best way to learn. And it would just be nice to have a site where I could share some different projects:) but it seems like there’s already a lot of good suggestions for that here!
Cool! Then i strongly recommend you find yourself a tilde server, where you’ll get a shell account and some cool services :)
