Still researching various options for a new host (on a new domain) for my personal website. My needs are very modest (a ~1GB, totally static website), I just want a simple setup with a company that is trustworthy and will still be in business in 10+ years. Any recs?

@jplebreton Your own VPS, not managed hosting. On a respectable but cheap host.

@jplebreton Pure static with nothing but http(s) & ssh open can run for decades without OS updates.

@dalias @jplebreton Though given how there are a few exploitable kernel bugs in the network stack every few years, it can be a good idea to apply OS updates periodically.

This wouldn't be an issue with either high-isolation kernels or microkernels, of course, but we can't have nice things.

@lispi314 @jplebreton Have there been any that weren't use of niche features, i.e. in core IP stack, in recent history? I don't recall any.
