How to create, and self host a blog like this

Chose a static site generator

This is the tool that takes your markdown or other markup language, and generates HTML files, these can then uploaded to a server to host.

• Hugo
• Pelican
• My custom one

Buy a domain

Chose a TLD (Top Level Domain)

.net is pretty cool IMO

Hosting

• Selfhost
• At home
  • Requires static IP
  • Router port forward
  • Always having a machine online
  • Exposes your home IP (This isn't super bad)
• VPS (cloud monthly payment)
• Not independent

For the rest of this I refer to the awesome guides at landchad.net
