<p>A <a href="http://dsanson.github.io">mirror of the site</a> is also available via <a href="http://pages.github.com/">Github Pages</a>. You can browse the <a href="http://github.com/dsanson/davidsanson.com">source</a> used to generate the site (and fork it if you like!).</p>
<p>If I were starting over today, I would probably just host the site via Github Pages. The hosting is free, and if you are happy with a url like <a href="http://dsanson.github.io">http://dsanson.github.io</a> that’s that. They also support <a href="http://pages.github.com/#custom_domains">custom domains</a>. So the only cost would be domain registration and DNS. But that is actually a bit of a hassle. The cheapest registrars offer .com addresses for ~$10/year (sometimes half that for the first year). But most registrars are sleazy: watch out for hidden privacy fees, first-year only discounts, and other sleazy practices. At best, that would save me $5 to $6 a year. But I wouldn’t have to worry about additional storage and bandwidth fees.</p>
