The Site

The website costs nothing.

With full disclosure, the domain name is ~£12 / year but thats it, this isnt hosted on a paid site/ AWS or running on someones cloud or VPS.

This webserver is running on the LAMP stack, Ubuntu with Mysql, Apache and PHP with WordPress all on an old, Ultra Small Form Factor Hp unit with Dynamic DNS and hosted on a domestic broadband.

It has the 3CX web chat and call plugin, with 3CX’s free sub 10 user hosted systems.

There are also some pages within this site showing my knowledge of PHP, have a look for the ” Miles per Tenner” calculator.

Any of the products shown in this site are linked via Amazon Affiliate links, which means it generates a very small amount of commission if you buy it

You may also notice a link to my self published book on Amazon and Audible called Bitcoin : The Basic and Whats it Worth.
