Your own website
What it's for
A site of your own, on your own domain name, where your content depends on no platform.
Why it matters
The day a network deletes or suspends your account, all your work vanishes. A personal site is your anchor: your posts stay there, archived and up to date, whatever happens. It’s exactly what cautious information accounts do. A static site (built with Hugo, Astro or Jekyll) is enough and publishes almost for free; for a dynamic blog, a self-hosted WordPress or Ghost does the job.
For whom & when
Information accounts, creators, activists, anyone who publishes and fears platform censorship.
Install & use
- Buy a domain name (ideally from a privacy-respecting registrar).
Choose a static-site generator (Astro, Hugo) and host the output, or install WordPress/Ghost on your server.
Always point to it from your social accounts: your audience finds you even if one account falls.
