My website is what is commonly known as a “LAMP” stack. (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP)
Hosting
I am hosting this website myself using a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian (debian-based OS). It is running Apache as the server backend. I chose to host the website myself to save money, and also to help me learn.
Database
The server is running mysql, which is necessary for a WordPress website.
Framework
I decided to use WordPress, which is a PHP framework for managing my pages and other content.
Cost
Since I host the website myself, I only have to pay for the domain name which is only around $11 per year. Very good deal.
