Domains are cheap but I swear they have the most fuck-ass interpretation of inflation out of any product. My $3CAD .live domain is now nearly $50CAD/yr. Still cheap but why

Now you could host a website on a pi zero if you wanted to. Well, you could if you make a proper website and don’t just download every JS library you can find to add a button.

if I ever make a website again, it will still static with manually coded html. I don’t know js, I can only remember some css. Maybe I’ll put some spinning 3d buttons gifs for fun.

I have used PHP as well for some but mostly stuff like display all the PNGs in this folder on this page. So that changing images in future if they provide updated ones is really easy. They usually loved that idea but most would rarely provided any. But for me it was fun to learn some PHP.
