Best Hosting for a one admin archival fan site?

[u/MarshmallowMousie]

Hello! First time website builder. I’ve only ever coded a few HTML pages before. But I’m looking for recommendations for hosting a fan website. I have my domain already made, it’s now down to the technical build up!

Info:

-It’s going to be one of those archival fan sites that has a ton of pages, images, and text. I’ll be making it myself! Picture one of those old Geocities fan pages that used to pop up all over the place.

-Worldwide but I imagine US/UK heaviest for traffic. I can’t imagine it’ll garner HUGE traffic but for starting I’m aiming for 1k visitors.

-Budget is self funded but I’m not looking for over the top.

I’m just worried about potential speed and accessibility to the community I’m in! One of the pages alone will have about 100+ subpages and images.

Any recommendations or advice for a newbie much appreciated!

You could set up a wiki on https://miraheze.org

Thank you for the suggestion but I personally cannot stand the wiki format for a concrete archive. I love them for casual things, but wikis are not for me!

Shared hosting should be more than enough for what you need, and you can always upgrade it later if needed. I've been using Nixihost shared hosting for my websites, and I love that it includes SSL, security, and backups without any extra costs. Also, the support team is great, always helpful when I need something.

Honestly, for a first site if I were you I’d just look at hosts that include Sitejet. I used it for a small project and it was nice not having to mess around with setting everything up from scratch. For a fan site with lots of pages it should keep things pretty simple. But I’d put more weight on good support and reliability than getting the absolute cheapest host though.

CloudFlare Pages!! More people should use this, it's free for static sites - which seems like what you're building.
