Question! With alternative hosting will Neocities still count your web visitors + include ninacti0n in their site directory??

@mysterysignal I think it does! The traffic you get here will also count, specially if you code your index here to immediately redirect to the new page. It'll use the picture of the new domain's index as thumbnail ^^

It mustn't have anything styled in it tho. No background, nothing. Maybe only background color, but it's best to leave it empty. For the HTML, just keep the usual HTML tags, but you add a meta tag for redirecting. I'll go fetch the link that helps with that.

Quoting what my friend Scarecat sent: "Check "Redirect to https://example.com/ immediately" in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh "

Well, I recently bought supporter, I'd say it's worth it for only $5 USD a month (which is $60 USD a year).

@robonerd I did consider it, yeah, but I have the issue of being in Brazil :'] It's more expensive than in the US, so I had to look for other alternatives

i'd gladly sponsor the $5 a month if you decide to stay here!

obrigada! sua arte e site são maravilhosos

Eee, de nada ^^

E muito obrigada também, aa :'] Ainda estou refazendo o site

github is decent, I think. the only issue (that I've had) is that it doesn't support server side scripts so php. and then I saw this really cool one called poyoweb but it only has 500mbs of space- I'm also not sure what the interface is like!

oh-- and poyoweb is also static hosting ;-;

Aw dang... I guess I would have to either host the mySQL and PHP stuff outside, which doesn't seem ideal. I still hope to find one that supports dynamic pages, cause convenience of administering everything in the same place. I'll have to wait and see

netlify if you want high uptime. They have bandwidth limits, as well, however. I would highly recommend optimizing all the images on your website, as well, which will help minimize bandwidth usage. I use ImageMagick, but there are online tools like ezgif.com that do the same thing.

Optimization and compression sound scary in theory, but in reality most people (yourself included) probably won't notice the difference between an uncompressed .PNG and a 20-30% compressed .jpeg (unless you need transparency, in that case you can optimize .pngs using ImageMagick and EZGif (https://ezgif.com/)

github repo + Cloudflare Pages is a solid free hosting system! I use it, and it also has support for dynamic pages, which do have usage limits, but it's based on execution time. so you're unlikely to run into anything until you experience a truly gigantic popularity explosion! only thing is that the dynamic stuff ("cloudflare functions") are proprietary and a little weird to get used to. they are in JS though!

cloudflare pages is truly free as far as I can tell, I've been using it for corru.observer for a bit to great effect

Thank you all for the suggestions! I'll contemplate over em and see what I can go for <3

Oh my, this means a whole lot, thank you!! :'DD The enter page was so painful to make, but it's the one I'm proudest of so far! I still need to do some adjustments, but it'll be worth it. Also yee, I always wanted my own little blog space! Planning out the notebook square was a very fun idea ^^ And can say there's a lot to look forward to for sure! It'll be lots of fun!

I think the work was well worth it, IMHO. The color palette is STUNNING, and the tree is so beautifully illustrated.

AYY THANK YOU!! I'm super glad you think so, eee- I've been planning a lot of fun stuff, so you can look forward to a lot of goodness. I also wanted the site to be very silly, and I'm happy people enjoy that silliness too x]

If you're looking for more, I have a .gif archive :) it's at https://slugsludge.xyz

@saltedslug Ooo, I just checked it- I found some great ones already, thank you so much! <3 Nice additions to my curation-

there's a collective unconscious webring here https://rh0mbus0fruin.neocities.org/CollectiveUnconscious although my request to join a couple months ago hasn't been answered so might be closed

@spuds Ohh, that actually sounds so cool... I've been brainrotting over the game recently, so it would be perfect. Quite the shame the user hasn't been as active checking the submissions
