I asked because I guess that gambaswiki.org has the most traffic.

Yes for sure. This server is shared with other packets, we are just one
of some other so called web-packets, that are on this server. But the
guys at Hostsharing always deploy the packets to the servers so that the
servers loads are quite equally and response is always fine. I know that
because I have my firm's website there and I am constantly monitoring it.

But for sure we can do our own thing to make it fast, by keeping the
websites static as much as possible.

Such small servers are very nice, they do not need much energy, I like that.

As I read, now 8 percent of the websites with https have LE certs, which
last no longer than 3 months. What if LE has a major breakdown? Or an
ugly hack?

But yes, I like LE too ... as a good answer to Edward Snowdens disclosure.

You can only estimate the quality of a website if you measure it.

This should be planned well, because there are a lot of links going to
SF. Maybe we should keep something like a stub website there as long as
possible.


Alles Gute
