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!
