Website hosting for an absolute amateur.

Question, what if OP buys a hostgator domian and account, used sharedhosting for basic Linux / Windows hosting and upload his pure .htm/.html pages ? No complications, just pure html ?

@arup @KAKAN Alternatively use Cloudflare tunnels or Tailscale funnels if you are self hosting. Works behind CGNAT

I know, but at that point, it's kinda pointless to self-host static pages since Cloudflare already has Page Workers / whatever they call their hosting stuff.

I do agree that Tunnels are very useful, I use them both for self hosting and in production for some things too!

OK for starters, but for serious use do not use them. A vendors client - they lost everything - mails, website etc. Moved them to M365. GoDaddy i think for website, but not sure.
@SayantanGR - share that LET link

I've had no problems. Always backup stuff.

Btw just use it for a backup cpanel account that I can spin up something quick.

PSA - don't even think about godaddy
So many of you are suggesting such complex stuff for a beginner!! Are you all out of your minds?
