I’m looking to host a website for an organisation I run. I’m very familiar with WordPress and somewhat familiar with Drupal, but am highly technical and can learn other technologies. I do feel that a WordPress-type crm might be overkill, as I am not looking for user interaction on the site. I’m good with html, js, and css, so would not be opposed to a barebones provider.

Basically, who is everyone using, and what considerations went into that decision?

I have crossposted this question on .ml, as well, but can’t properly link each on the other.

    My personal website is made using Hugo, sitting behind Caddy, and hosted on Racknerd. I see elsewhere in the thread that you’re looking for something akin to a $5/month VPS, but racknerd is MUCH cheaper for much more vCPU + vRAM (older hardware, but that’s not a deal breaker for hosting a static website).

    I used to do $6/Month on Digital Ocean for 1 vCPU + 1GB vRAM + 1TB bandwidth, but now I’m somewhere like $3/Month for 2 vCPU + 2.5GB vRAM + 5TB bandwidth [1]. In fact, I paid $6 extra to have the server in France. Otherwise it’s $30 a year.

    Check out racknerd tracker [2]. I found out about it through lemmy many months ago [3]. The person who made the website gets some affiliate stuff.
