Here you will find all the info about this site.
Firstly, this werbsite is built on the open source blogging software, wordpress. It’s by far the best website building software. I’ve customized the look a littlebit by modifying the default template twenty ten that was provided with the wordpress 3.o version.
This website was previuosly hosted on godaddy server, which was live 24/7. I paid about $5/month for having unlimited space on this server. It was not exactly cheap, but the best available value right then. However, since 2014 (or whenever they got sold), they did not allow existing customers to use any coupons, etc, so their rates got to more like $10/month now.
So, I switched and moved to ipage server, for which I’m paying about $2/month. I signed up for 3 year plan for total of $75. It’s just as good. However, I need to figure out how to get cronjobs setup on ipage, as I’ve a lot of scripts that rely on cronjobs.
Before I could figure out the cronjobs, I had to move in 2018, as the rates for ipage moved higher. Right now, I’m at hostinger.com, for which I’m paying $1/month. I paid about $50 for a 4 year plan. The service is insanely good, the best so far. I guess the hosting business is going to go belly up, as the rates just keeps on getting lower every time I move to a new hosting provider. I can’t even have a 24/7 server at my home for $1/month.
I guess, you just have to keep moving, as no hosting provider gives good rates to existing customers. It’s very easy to move websites from one hosting provider to other, and once you have done it couple of times, you feel pretty comfortable. I’ll provide the steps for “moving your website” when I get some time, however you can always try search engines.
