[governance] Draft Project Plan for Website Restoration/ Was IGC Website (Way Forward)

Fri Jul 19 18:37:52 EDT 2019

Yes

The hosting company I have in mind is located in Ireland. It is not one of
the big tech companies and the hosting costs 89.95 euros per year. (I think
we should pick Medius, but they have a Minimus option too which is cheaper:
https://www.blacknight.com/web-hosting/)

We could also go with a managed hosting like Amazon or Google. Some are
hesitant about that in general but I believe it could save us from a lot of
hassle and can be for longer-term.

Thoughts?
