Anything other than plain text document is WRONG.

HTML only.
No style and no script.
Lots of tables for layout.

>>1511353
okay. but how do I host? I can buy the domain name but then what?

>>1511360
Just host it on 000webhost until they spontaneously decide to remove all your content.
Use the webhost's interface to put files in the public HTML folder.

Make a neocities page! They have a nice online editor and everything

This.

Post your neocities

It's easy, you can do it!

Or an editor that has live previews capabilities.

>>1511372
>>1511414
Who needs a fancy editor? Just use whatever text editor you want and preview it in your own browser
>file:///path/to/your/index.html
That's for Linux though, the path might look a little different in Windows, but you should be able to just save the html file and then just open with > browser

>>1511422
It's just more convenient to see your changes as you type them instead of focusing the browser and refreshing it. Especially when you don't really know what you are doing yet and still learning.
Also the last time I used windows to open local files it would suddenly tell me that the file I'm working on is opened by another program and force me to save it under a different name.

I host my own webserver out of my house.

Install Linux, and then install a web server like Apache, Nginx, or Lighttpd.

I wouldn't reccomend using any web server other than those 3, preferably either Nginx or Lighttpd.

You just do a bit of configuration, put your HTML files in a certain directory, and then start the web server program. Forward port 80 from your router's administration webpage to the PC running the webserver in your house, you can then give people your IP address to connect, or get a free domain from https://freedns.afraid.org/

It all costs $0

>>1511488
I wish I could host out of my house. Even just the idea of sitting right next to your server is arousing.

But I'd probably want to buy 2 internet connections before doing something like that. Unless I wasn't planning on getting very much traffic or something.
Right now I just pay $5/month for a VPS that's pretty nice.

I wonder if I could talk to an ISP and just tell them I'm starting a small business, see if I can get any nice deals on 2 connections

>tell them I'm starting a small business, see if I can get any nice deals on 2 connections
They're going to force some shitty SLA on you for a retarded price. Just see if you can get more than one public IP on your current plan and set up a DMZ for your server.

>>1511589
>Just see if you can get more than one public IP
Oh I didn't know you could do that. That sounds good.

>>1511601
Some ISPs just force a router on you that you can't configure so this may not be possible.
If you do try to ask them for a second connection don't say it's for a business or they will try to make you pay way more than it's actually worth.

>>1511422
Hmm... maybe there should be a thread for /qa/ to make neocities pages for the heck of it. This could be fun.

You are never a true old school web designer if you never used Notepad to design websites.

I have experimented with HTML in the past.
Sure, nothing turned out especially great, but still.

>typing your HTML tags in uppercase
Do you code in PHP also?

>>1511762
Truprogrammers(tm) wrote inline PHP and echoed style properties inside of HTML tags instead of bothering with CSS.

Tor hidden services are easy to set up and work even if you have to connect to the Internet through a firewall not under your control.

Download NetObjects Fusion MX and a cracked CuteFTP, don't forget to visit DynamicDrive to get a snowstorm script and replace all the slowflakes with jagged-edged gifs of dicks

IIRC XHTML requires lowercase.

Also, find a script to autoplay music at 200% volume upon opening.

>>1511353
You can add scripts and styling by using CGI.

What is it about "old school" did you not comprehend?

i want to help the text punk revolution with simple websites!

I am doing this now myself anon!

Got a raspberry pi for a server, got it my url pointing to it, and I just installed WordPress yesterday. It might be a shitty WordPress blog, but I'm doing it myself
