Hi @CBOEtrader now I'm doubting that it's a good idea because it would be a real responsibility to keep your site going, and Wordpress already offers free blog hosting up to some level of traffic and they are pretty good at it. How do I compete with free?

I really appreciate your vote of confidence, but after no one took it up I moved on in my mind to ideas about redundant self-hosting, where you'd use your own home computer and even your phone to host a site, and your own sites would stay in sync so even if one copy went down the others would still work. But even that is not fully baked.

Get with a hardware guy and come up with a Roku type appliance to host Web sites.

Have DNS, Web server and Database flavors.

Under attack push reset button, the device boots with instant on.
So thwarting an attack you can push the rest button and site shuts down kills connections and is back on line in a matter of a few seconds.

No OS just service servers on top of PIC.

Oh ok. All good man!

Yeah SAAS businesses models require extreme scale. A small player would need a highly unique value prop for it to succeed.

I was throwing you a bone for your effort, and the backend support would've been nice. Yes, if that backend effort require hours from you, yeah probably not worth it. Thanks for managing this site patrick.

I appreciate you.

+1 Patrick, thanks for the site.
