These days most ISPs allow self-hosting to some extent. Programmer Mira Welner has published a 15-step tutorial to getting a working static web site up and running on a Raspberry Pi:
While tutorials abound in regards to getting a basic webserver set up, there is a difference between a functional server and a good usable website. I've been working on getting my personal site set up over the course of the past five years, spending an hour or so every month working on improving the Pi. I never intended for this personal project to become so lengthy or complex, but eventually I ended up with a fairly robust system for running, maintaining, and editing my website. This tutorial will describe what I've learned throughout the process of creating this site in 15 steps, so that you can use it to create and maintain your own sites.
This tutorial assumes that you already know how to use the command line, and that you have some understanding of HTML and CSS. That is about it.
Any always-on system is going to need to draw as little current as possible, and it is hard to beat a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W which uses under 150 mA. This tutorial stands out as better than most others because of the small details filled in necessary to go from "Hello, World" page to a working, public web site.

Don't be so grouch. Now there are lots of funny people around the Internets, many of them younger than most of my still working computers...

OP's post is why I've mostly stayed out of forums, discussions, etc. I have a pretty low greensite userid number, but again, so many grumpy people. I can't figure out what motivates people to post such grouchy negative tripe. Is it somehow psychologically cleansing? Sigh. Anyway, I have some computer parts older than me! (1940s - early 1960s)

Because there's little to discuss at that basic level, Sherlock, and S/N is at least half about comments.
Hence the "Is here, on S/N, someone who doesn't know how to do it and would get something useful from TFA?"
Is something wrong with your ability to take a question at face value?
