Surprised?

Today we're testing Neocities hosting. It supports up to 20MB (200MB for supporters, athought we don't need it) and HTTPS.

Current thoughts:

• Impressed when I see that it tries to learn web coding.
• I hate this text editor: the autocomplete is annoying and can't be disabled. Emmet could be more helpful.
• Bugs, small bugs everywhere. An example? Read below.
• Doesn't support any type of server configuration, i.e.: can't handle .html-less urls.
• Well, it's still possible to hack the 404 page to support that, although it will make those pages not indexable and proxies will break it.
  Update: turns that Neocities return HTTP 200 for error pages. It's really BAD for SEO but will allow javascript redirects like those: https://qgustavor.neocities.org/redirect-example and https://qgustavor.neocities.org/hello world (middle clicking still works).
• It allows internacionalized e-mails, but it doesn't send one neither in the sign-up neither in the password recovery forms.
  Update: it doesn't allow internacionalized domains, like 🐱.qgustavor.tk, only their punycode translations.

It's a good hosting for single page applications/websites (like this one), really small blogs, but not for me.

By the way, check my blog: qgustavor.tk.
