Off to a non-US instance. Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish.

  • Hosting for yourself so you can access your content outside your home is usually the use-case, use WireGuard for that though (checkout headscale) along with virtualization, VLANs, etc.
    Hosting for a group of friends and/or family can usually be ok, assuming that is a well known and restrict group.

    Hosting for the general public from home is usually not recommended, use a VPS for that. Bear in mind you’ll likely be liable for what you host, one way or the other, depending on your jurisdiction.
    If you store content (files others may upload like movies and photos) you may be responsible for that (i.e. is that content legal in your jurisdiction?).
    There may be a legal distinction between the server’s geographic location and the entity responsible for it - but in your case it’s the same, so, again, beware.
    Just linking to content deemed illegal may get you into trouble.
    Putting the site behind a login-only page and vetting account creation could mitigate (or exponentiate) this.
    Anyway IANAL.

    What do you want to host and for whom?

    the public has a right to know who a plane belongs to.

    Why? This “right to know” is pitchfork mentality, really. If something happens the authorities can handle it and only they should have that kind of access, not John Doe. Not all who own planes are millionaires (those probably do register to an LLC).
