My earlier messages to the mailing list aren't being delivered because the GMAIL server is on the block list. Dunno if this is common, worth fixing, or what.

Would you recommend it for hosting some extremely low bandwidth pages? I want to setup a website to serve some static web pages and eventually experiment with some tech like ELM and maybe Elixir/LFE/BEAM. I would prefer it not to run at my home however. Anybody else have any recommendations? Oh, and tutorials on how to set webservers on the recommended VM would be great too. Thanks, Kevin
