    A small vps should cost no more than $10/mo, and should be enough to run a text-based site (with compression) reasonably well. Obviously the gotcha will be bandwidth, but you could subsidize that with donations.

      I’m accounting for a domain name and sufficient bandwidth.

      I figure 10 TB per month should be enough.

      The $500 is a conservative estimate.

        You could try hosting it at home on an old laptop and see how it goes

        That’s 100% more bandwidth than not doing it at all
