This is why I use a static site generator. No security fix is ever urgent. No risk of needing to make a bunch of changes in case I need to move host, and they have a slightly different version of PHP. The thing never "fails to start" after a reboot. No database that can cause problems. It's just files. Anything can host just files.

My first site actually started as what we'd now call a static site generator back in the 1990s. Then PHP a few years later, then Python built on webpy.org (including an admin interface), and now back to a static site generator.

Most of my friends are computer people, and know and occasionally read my blog. My non computer friends could not care less.

In the end it turns out that the way of doing websites by creating .html files directly was the more future proof :D
