If you can rent a cheap VPS. I host a blog myself, if you have more questions about the hosting process, you can DM me.

My advice is to choose whether you want to focus on writing or on learning how to set up the infrastructure for the website. If it is the former then go for something like writefreely or proprietary platforms like medium, substack, github pages etc.

I’d personally avoid Medium as they’re quite unfriendly from a privacy perspective, though front-ends such as Scribe exist. Something deployable like Hugo would be the best variant imo, or making it by hand if you’re into that.

You could also rent a VPS and make a Wireguard tunnel between your homeserver and the VPS, thus not exposing your home network.
