I’d recommend posting your comics onto a site like ComicFury. They have an extensive community of comic artists and an entire dedicated forum for comic artists. Also has extensive HTML tools. I’ve been using ComicFury to host my webcomic Roadside Adventure.

ComicFury is indeed the best site for hosting webcomics. It's very flexible and has no ads.
I've used Smackjeeves and tapas.io before but now I use ComicFury to host my own work.

I used Wix once to host a comic, but i realized if I hosted a comic on ComicFury, it was better.
