[chbot] question about web hosting

[Geoff]

If you only need to host static pages, I can suggest github or gitlab
pages: just stick your files in version control and away you go. Defaults
to with url username.gitlab.io, but if you have your own domain it's easy
to configure. With gitlab you also get access to their CI system, so you
can compile your pages from (eg) markdown etc.
This is what I'm doing for all my sites, because they're all static content.
