Static Websites

Static Websites
One of the reason I like static websites is because of the low overhead on the server.
Also you don't have to back up the website because it's already on your computer. Just backup your computer.
And because of this static websites are very portable and can even be run on free hosts. Just be sure to use your own domain so when the free host goes squirelly you can move.
Blogs, audio, video, full websites all have static host solutions.
Use your raspberry pi or your old system and use duck dns if you don't have a static ip.
Hosting is not expensive and can be done on the $15/year plan, just paying for your domain name.
Own Your own platform. Everything else goes away or gets enshittified.
Except SDF
https://sdf.org
And the Internet Archive
https://archive.org
The Archive did go away for a few days at the end of last year.
Soon to be a blog post using my own program, Plain Text Blog.
Thanks
