Hey everyone! I'm just starting out in web development and I'm trying to set up a simple website to host my webcomic. I'm looking for a hosting service that's affordable and meets a few specific criteria:
1. I want to create a basic HTML site (no builders or WordPress, please!).
2. It should offer a lot of storage space that I can upgrade later if needed.
3. I'd love the option to have unlimited pages on the same domain.
4. I need to upload images that could be graphic or NSFW.
Additionally, I'm interested in purchasing a domain name for the site, but I don't need that from the host directly. Is it even possible to find a service that ticks all these boxes? Any recommendations from experienced web developers would be greatly appreciated!

You might want to check out GitHub Pages or Cloudflare Pages! They're completely free if you just need basic HTML/CSS/JS. GitHub has a max size of 1GB, but Cloudflare allows you to combine it with R2 storage, which is free up to 10GB and can be upgraded for just $0.01/GB, making it super affordable!
Hmm, your requirements sound a bit unusual. Finding a host that covers all those points might be tricky. Just make sure your needs are genuine - do you really need that much storage? Keep in mind that optimizing images for web doesn’t require high storage. Also, stay away from GoDaddy for domain registration.
Have a look at Netlify! They offer 100 GB of bandwidth per month for free, and they have great plans to upgrade if needed. It'll handle a simple static site just fine, that should work for your webcomic!
Great point! Lowering image resolution can help save space significantly.
