    I often do miss the internet of the old days.

    Hosting a modern day gamefaqs would cost $500 per year or so.

    I guess a wiki would be easier to offer version control, links and images for the author.

    Maybe that would be $1000 a year.

      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

      I have free hosting and free bandwidth essentially. Have any recommendations for a CMS dedicated to this?
