My Website Has Been on WordPress for 15 Years. Not Anymore.
I’ve had this personal website, derekcreason.com since the late 2000s. Maybe 2008? It’s been through a few iterations over the years: different platforms, different themes, different levels of how often I actually remember to post on it. For most of the last decade, it ran on WordPress, sitting on a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) on a virtual machine at home, and for the last 5 years or so on a VPS with a web hosting provider. It worked fine. But “works fine” and “maintaining it” are two very different things.
