Is this a question or a desire? I would like us to move to a proper hosting platform honestly, my understanding of the current setup doesn't fell me with joy.
Desire.
It depends on where you all want to take the website, I suppose.
The main thing to consider around a proper hosting platform is we may lose hack.sheffield.ac.uk unless we ask CiCS nicely for DNS.
also $$$
CiCS can provide very cheap VMs (free rn?)
They gave me two 16-core 64GB RAM machines for my dissertation and I think they only received like £100 each or something for a year
Well if we do move it means we can use something like travis, which is honestly a lot easier than rolling your own CI/CD system. Will discuss with @gregives
also free != good 😉 aaaaaand the free tier on aws/gcs will probably be plenty for the amount fo traffic we see.
When master updates, the website updates? 😄
