Making your own website is especially important today because YOU can have control over what YOU post, unlike registering an account in a social media platform (e.g. Facebook, X, etc.) where you could get banned or removed at any time without notice. However, when making websites, you must also choose a domain provider wisely, because they could also remove you website too. Neocities is a good starting point, though you will have less control over your webpage, however, the best free web hosting service, in my opinion, is Web1.0Hosting. It is a gem inside the junkyard known as the Internet. It only allows up to 100mb of storage, though, and sadly only has less than 1,000 websites hosted on there.
