And I’d like to be able to do it privately too, that’d be cool.
Things I can do –
- write HTML and CSS
- register a domain and set up hosting
- use Filezilla
Things I don’t know how to do –
- Create databases, I always had someone around to do that for me
- Self-host
- Set up an onion site 🧅
- Set up an eepsite
- Register a .bit domain
I am more of a content gal than a tech gal, but think of all the cool stuff I could create if I could spin up anonymous websites in a few hours.

Thank you!
Why do you need a database? If you want a blog or something that’s the same for all the visitors you can use a static site generator
Anonymous from who? None of what you’ve mentioned will keep the police out for long if you’re doing things that catch their attention.
If you want to get started with databases, the file-based SQLite is awesome!
This might be a good place to start: https://gvwilson.github.io/sql-tutorial/
Not only is it a tutorial, but it has its own package of lesson materials to practice with - no trying to figure out how to set up a database before you really know how to set up a database.

Have you looked at any static site generators?
Does HTMX count for Web 1.0?
Web 1.0 means no interactivity outside of forms (client to server request<-> response cycle). Web 2.0 was the label used when sites started gaining interactivity, using Javascript.

Web 1.0 stuff didn’t have a back-end database for the most part. It was pretty much all flat files containing HTML. Once in a while there would be a cgi-bin script that could access a database, but they were pretty rare back then.
As for self-hosting… you say that you can already set up hosting. What do you mean by that? Going through the hoops with a hosting provider to set up an account, and stuff? Context in the text is a bit thin but I’m guessing you mean, setting up a (virtual) machine to install and configure a web server?
The most expedient way of setting up an .onion site would be to use a VPS or your own machine. You can technically do it by applying the hiddenservice tutorial in the docs, but that’s not, technically what you mean I think.
eepsite - No idea.
.bit domain registration - that’s getting into Namecoin, alternative TLDs, and stuff like that. I’ve not worked with Namecoin so I can’t speak to that, just keep in mind that if you go all-in on .bit a lot of folks won’t be able to access it unless they’re set up to use the .bit DNSes.
