LAMP implies your site depends on running php (or perl) and a database (MySQL). At the other end of the spectrum, a feather light website would be just a static HTML file. requiring only Apache or similar. That is what I want in this case. You don't have to convince me of Wordpress goodness. I know it's great, it just isn't my weapon of choice for this particular job.Last edited by unixman; 27 November 2015, 00:41.Comment

That's allowed me to weigh up what hosting package I need and it would typically be the cheapest. Like I said earlier, though, a dedicated Joomla hosting site may be even cheaper as they offer locked down functionality (i.e. Joomla only) but a bargain price to go with it.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Cheers for the replies. To whom it may concern, after trying a number of self-hosted solutions I went with GetSimple, one of the many open source CMS solutions available. Not perfect but it will do for now. It runs on my personal LAMP server.
GetSimple is right at the "lite" end of things. It doesn't have a back end database and just uses XML files to store the data. This means I can host it on a server that already runs MySQL for something else, without the headache of two MySQL instances. Also it is very fast. Also, I think having a full RDBMS is overkill for a site comprising of just one or two static pages and a single user.
So anyway I just typed in the blurb and selected template. I might revisit later on and try Wordpress, htmly or even vi.Comment
