Free Hosting Suggestions

[craftyhobbit]

Hi, I am a neocities user, but recently I've found that the social media-like follow function, profile commenting and recent activity page has started making me feel uncomfortable using the site. I would like to find a free host like neocities that allows me to create a website using old fashioned coding techiques that is free of the social media aspect. I'm not interested in followers, and getting comments for the things that I'm working on - I just want to create a small site to hold the stuff I'm working/researching, but I keep finding free hosts that rely on premade templates and AI content generation. Does anyone have any suggestions?

People have already suggested some great alternatives, so I just wanted to let you know that there is also an option to turn off your profile page on neocities. It prevents people from following you, stops generating those update posts, and makes it so people can't comment on your profile. So, basically, the only way you'd see the more social side of neocities would be if you choose to go to the homepage yourself and interact with people. Just an option if you want to stay but still avoid the public profile thing.

Wait, you can do that??

Is this a more recent thing? It's been ages since I updated my website.

I'm not sure when it started; as far as I know, it's been a thing since before I joined two years ago, but I only tried experimenting with it myself recently.

You can find it under the site settings page. (Settings > Manage Site Settings > Profile.) There will be two check boxes labeled "Disable Site Profile" and "Disable Profile Comments".
