What would be the best way to get a toy site like that running? Buy a domain and host with S3? I've never built and run my own website, and it's something I'd like to try soon.
- dsr_ 6y agoMy advice: buy a bottom-tier VM. $1-2.50 a month. Install apache or nginx, pick a static site generator. Investigate LetsEncrypt. Run a local git repo and clone it off to a local machine every so often. When you're feeling comfortable, buy a domain and set up LetsEncrypt for SSL. If you've found a limitation in the VM provider, consider moving to a different one. Consider whether a CDN is the right thing for you.
- silicon2401 6y agothis is excellent, specific advice. I'll reference this when I get a chance to work on the site. thank you!
