Ask HN: Need advice to avoid a precious website to shutdown

11 pointsby SergeyDruidover 7 years ago
A megpie&#x27;s nest provided me for almost a decade an invaluable source of information and depth on the music composed by Howard Shore for the Lord of The Rings Trilogy. It&#x27;s incredible how it became a &quot;wikipedia&quot; basically, mainteined by one person only. I read the sad notice about it&#x27;s shutdown and it seems the author cannot afford costs of hosting anymore... Looking at the assets it&#x27;s quite static, isn&#x27;t out there some cheap or free solution for websites like this?<p>http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amagpiesnest.com&#x2F;

Github Pages is free. You can use &quot;wget --mirror&quot; to capture the website.

They list a gmail address. This should entitle them to a free blogpot blog. They would just need to migrate the content.<p>Though audio files are not supported, AFAIK. If that is part of the content, they might need to put those on a service like Sound Cloud.

Haven’t seen this site but if it’s static please take a look at netlify.com. Their service is incredible and has a free tier.
