what does it take to self host own website? you need to either rent server or DIY it with own computer. Is something like linode best option if i want my own website? self hosting could be risky unless you know how to make the server secure.

You need a server. As you said either a VPS or an old computer. Where you install nginx and certbot and put the site. https://landchad.net

yeah, but if i wanna host own website is the old pc gonna be secure enough?

Yup. It is not the hardware that is secure enough or not (most of the times). It is the software.

Yes nostr:nprofile1qqsf0gxgpn62ws2p73z0hedeq8xv6zh7pl25twgupn20tszy6zgyg3spremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59uve0g9q

This. Another option is to host your website as a onion service on tor.

This is actually easier because you don't need to go through certbot to get your cert.

You just install tor and point it to your webservice.

Anyone with brave browser or tor browser can access it.
