IANAWebmaster, its feasible, ive tried to do it, but practical...hardly, its possible to do it by port forwarding yourself, cooperating with a domain registrar, setting up the server software on your end, etc etc
i have friends whove done it, but its a lot of work

You (usually) can, in a technical sense! Back In The Day(tm) I hosted a website off an old laptop using a few port forwards on my router and a Dynamic DNS service. You still need some technical know-how to at least understand what to do with those terms, but it's possible.

In a more general sense, hosting off your own Internet connection can be a privacy and security concern. GeoIP services make it easy to get a very rough idea of where you are maybe—this is flakier and more vague than people make it out to be, but it can sometimes be enough. And it can give attackers a potential way into your home network if something's not configured right. The likelihood of either those things happening of course is different from person to person, but it's always worth considering.

ISPs hate it. They often actively block the necessary ports unless you pony up for a business rate, which will mean paying way more for a fraction of the bandwidth. I've tried multiple times before but I've given up every time, 'cause even with dyndns it's flaky as hell.

i think you should do it if it's fun for you! i like to do it and it's not THAT hard to learn if u know how to use linux already :)

my isp doesn't care also, but i think american isps are worse lol

I do that at http://home.jellycopter.net but I live in france where we have nice ISP

did you heard of Yunohost?

as a neocities user, i personally prefer using an editor like atom, and only use the neocities editor for small fixes / adjustments on pages i've already published. i used it more frequently in the beginning but the font is so small that even notepad is better (despite the editor's syntax highlighting being handy)

but damn i've been dreaming of a html/css and wysiwyg hybrid ever since i started using figma for work, because writing markup is often faster than editing visually, and i'm a bit surprised there isn't really anything like this out there yet. maybe it's more technically complex than it seems. the classes and ids might become pretty unwieldy too, if inspect elementing generated sites has ever told me anything

The neocities editor is basically just.. nothing but text so the only thing nice about it is the color coding probably... but people [myself included] don't want to use most hosting services because neocities has a social aspect to it to make browsing websites easier, you can leave comments on people's profiles/websites, and even their edits and stuff, and you can talk to or browse through an editing feed almost.. I haven't seen anything else that includes some kind of social features like that.

I do like 90% of my editing for my neocities just straight up in a codepen page that I don't save to at all and then save the files to my computer and neocities lmao. I just go back through to check it actually works proper once I save it on neocities and then do inspect element editing if I need to then re-write some stuff.
most website/code editors i've tried don't have literal live editing and I have to constantly hit save/view/run of some kind, or open up a browser, so codepen while i'm pretty sure it's not meant at all for the scope i've been using it for especially cause I'm NEVER saving stuff in their editor lol.. it's just the easiest cause every time you type it updates.

as far as WYSIWYG editors go, what I want is somewhat like codepen, but not as heavy - the most barebones thing, with these features and functions:

• left pane is code, right pane is preview, resizable separator
• changes done to the left pane copy the code into a frame in the right pane and renders it, with one change: every tag is contenteditable
• text changes can therefore be done on the right pane, and will reflect in like in the code
• a few shortcuts sit on a toolbar above the html code editor, for quickly dropping in common tags; these shortcuts can be customized (so as to add specific common tags, classes, attributes and values)
• the left pane can be split to show a single CSS window, if there's a style tag/link-rel-stylesheet in the main document
  • the style editor also updates the live view automatically
  • the style editor toolbar will have a picker for ID, class or tag selectors, taken from the HTML
  • the style editor toolbar will also have shortcut buttons like the HTML ones

the whole thing is implemented using the absolute minimum of CSS, HTML and JS necessary. nothing minified, nothing crunched, the editor is itself a canvas for the user to work in.
