One of the reason I like static websites is because of the low overhead on the server.

Also you don't have to back up the website because it's already on your computer. Just backup your computer.

And because of this static websites are very portable and can even be run on free hosts. Just be sure to use your own domain so when the free host goes squirelly you can move.

Blogs, audio, video, full websites all have static host solutions.

I like the Internet Archive and Bandcamp.

Then I use CDBaby for streaming distribution. A one time $10 fee gets you on all the streaming services.

I am planning on installing Faircamp and Hyper 8 on my own server. Static websites for audio and video. Own your platform!

I use the Internet Archive to archive my stuff. In spite of their recent and ongoing issues I do think they will be long term more reliable than me.

I am working on the Indie Archive so I can archive my own stuff. You know, the stuff you really don't want to lose.

So, in a nutshell, I couldn't agree with you more.

Own your platform!

This is a great thread. Is it ok if I post it on my blog?

I'm still on tumblr for my band pages but I am mostly using my own software, Plain Text Programs, that I designed to be easy to use and maintain. Most people can't write their own programs but most people can use my Plain Text Programs which are easier to use than most alternatives. By design.

So that's my blogs, galleries, directory listers, music players, internet radio with widgets, etc.
