hello! the webring is still open however it's just been pretty inactive/no one's joined recently. If you want to you can still join if that's what you want!
Oh, alrighty then! I'll join it, since I was looking for a webring on the game lol
I set my Neocities index to immediately redirect to the new domain, so that's why it works!
Ye! Imma still be on Neocities, cause I like the community <3 It's just my site that's elsewhere now
I do hope to migrate a smaller sub-site I'd made, which is gonna be about discussing art approaches, aesthetics and techniques I enjoy. I just gotta see how to do it-
@underwhite You can just click on the Neocities preview! It should instantly redirect you to the new one! ^^
Oh no no- Please don't worry, there's no need for that :'] I appreciate it a whole lot, but there's no need. I managed to purchase my slot on a host my dad has used for years, and it was a one time purchase too.
I can say tho... to support the domain, I'll link my Ko-Fi to my homepage in a later update. I made it in case some people would like to tip or support later updates ^^
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
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!
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.
Nope, I'm currently stumped... I'll see if I get some help later, cause I have no idea what may be causing the issue. If it persists, I may just use my old database, and HOPE it works
