Over the last 5 years site has always been on my mind, I&rsquo;ve been keeping the server up and running but life gets busy, other things are prioritised and momentum gets lost. Since kicking off in 2011 it&rsquo;s been running on a self managed <a href="https://wordpress.com/">Wordpress</a> setup. Wordpress is a great piece of software but the time had come to move on. To run Wordpress yourself requires at minimum a server and a database, plus a bunch of required software. Each has to be maintained, monitored, backed up and upgraded regularly. Servers are not cheap, you choose the smallest one that handles your traffic but then you get a traffic spike, or bots start to crawl the site, options are to re-engineer, pay more for a bigger server or get knocked offline.</p>
