<div dir="ltr">I had a vague recollection that Mercury's website is currently generated offline and then only the static HTML files (and tarballs) are served from the host. If that's the case, I recommend Google Cloud Storage which can host static websites: <a href="https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/website-configuration">https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/website-configuration</a> I use it for all my static sites.<div>
<br></div><div>The Mercury website is probably small enough to fall under the free usage quota (5 GB). If not, the per-GB fees are reasonable. I like it because setting up a new site can be done quickly from the command line:<br>
<div><br></div><div><div> $ gsutil -m cp -R example_site/ gs://<a href="http://example.com">example.com</a></div><div> $ gsutil setwebcfg -m index.html gs://<a href="http://example.com">example.com</a></div></div></div>

I looked at shared hosting.<br>
<br>
A friend of mine recommended<br>
<a href="https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net" target="_blank">https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net</a> Which has plans that scale with usage.<br>
and<br>
<a href="http://mediatemple.net" target="_blank">http://mediatemple.net</a> Which has one big plan which is way more<br>
than we need.<br>
<br>
Both of these have huge capacity, probably enough for our FTP archive.<br>
But neither of these, nor any other shared hosting provider I found, offers<br>
mailing list hosting. We could either host our mailing lists somewhere<br>
else, such as google groups (which means we don't get the @<a href="http://mercurylang.org" target="_blank">mercurylang.org</a><br>
domain), or we're back to running a VPS (which is more complicated).<br>
<br>
We can mix-and-match services, using one service for email and another for<br>
the website.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
