I use dreamost, I believe when I caught them I got like a couple months of free hosting, but they’re normally very well priced. They’ve been down very very few times, too. That way I control the host, and I don’t have to deal with ads or other people’s whims at all. I think it’s like a hundred a year.

I see a lot of other people using tumblr themes for comics these days, but I’m a little worried tumblr’s a few years away from bankruptcy. Still it’s a good free alternative that doesn’t have creepy weird contracts like tapastic. Which might be ok I don’t really know enough about those free webcomic things at all, I’ve never used them.

I use comicpress in wordpress for the backend but I did all the customizing of it by hand in notepad. which I think is fun because it forces me to brush up on my css and php a little more each time, but that could be pretty daunting if you have no webpage programming experience. I don’t really know any of the tools for that to be honest…

The website itself, my advice is to remember it’s a website about a comic. So don’t shuffle the comics off to a hard to find place. Make them very prominent. Either the front page or a very obvious link on the front page.

You wouldn’t think I’d need to say that but I’ve seen some bad webdesign for comics (cough cough every tapastic comic I’ve tried to read cough)

People who are less invested will absolutely not read your comic if they have to follow more than 1 or 2 links to find it. Sometimes even just the one.

But, a good reasons to hiding it behind a landing page is if it’s an ongoing story comic and you don’t want people to get spoiled. Or: it’s porn or other adult work.
