Yet another redeployment of my website. My hosting account with InMotion expired last month and the pricing felt steep for what I needed, so I started searching for a new place to host. I looked at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GCP felt powerful but like a lot of Google products felt clunky and not that intuitive to use. I still have a credit on my account so I’m still playing around with it. I’m using G Suite for mail hosting and I like it so far, but I could do without a monthly subscription fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I purchased the Bootstrap Studio editing software, which is actually kinda neat to use but there’s a steep learning curve, especially for someone who hasn’t messed around with web design in almost 20 years. A lot has changed. There are things I like and dislike about the platform, but it has the features I need. To further complicate things, I decided that I wanted something more interactive, and easier to insert updates but didn’t want the hassle of managing a database for such a small amount of data. So I started building a Bootstrap-based theme for Get Simple CMS, which stores its data in XML flat files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I started looking at AWS because the services I need are essentially free for the next year. I can spend some time re-familiarizing myself with web hosting. I’ve been an IT Professional pretty much my entire adult life. The free\/discounted services gives me the opportunity to setup micro instances in AWS so I can play around with systems and setup a sandbox, in case I want to look at getting my Red Hat certification back. Luckily, this all ties into my professional career, so why not, eh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, thanks for visiting and hopefully, I’ll stay on top of posting updates here and on my social media accounts again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
