| I won't tell you what to use. I'm a noob myself, and a hobbyist, and I don't know everything. I use Vercel. Some of my friends use Nearly Free Speech. Some of my friends self host on a nintendo DS running Linux in their kitchen. Others have their own preferences. It all depends on what you need. | I won't tell you what to use.

| It's free. A lot of people use it. It has social media features (profiles you can comment on, follower counts, likes on profile updates) so that gives you free serotonin and encourages you to post more if you like social media features. There's some Bluesky integration so you connect poopoo.neocities.org as your bsky username. | It's free. A lot of people use it.

| I haven't used it, and I don't have any reason to use it right now. It seems like a direct "upgrade" to Neocities should you need the offered features, and if you trust the anonymous Discord group more than a faceless company like Github's Pages. They have a lot of direct community activities and involvement, like making for-profit zines together. | I haven't used it, and I don't have any reason to use it right now. It seems like a direct "upgrade" to Neocities should you need the offered features, and if you trust the Discord group more than a faceless company like Github's Pages. They have a lot of direct community activities and involvement, like making for-profit zines together, or their discord server. That can be a pro or con depending on how much you want a community to be looking directly at your every site update. |

| And with small tight-knit communities you get the pros and cons of friendship and breakups :P They're relatively new as a site. No telling how long they'll last as a host! But you can always try it, and save your site if you ever wanna move. | And with small tight-knit communities you get the pros and cons of friendship and breakups.
