My first website is now back online, hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of my original website from 1997 I have re-published it for all to see.
This site has moved home a few times over the years. It was originally hosted at CERN when I was working my first proper job and then on Google Drive.
Now I have it hosted on Amazon Web Services (for less than 60p a month).
Enjoy!

My first website – now back online…!
A while ago I came across a backup of the files that made up my very first website from 1997, when I was working at CERN. I had been inspired to learn some HTML for a couple of reasons:
1) I was working at the birthplace of the World Wide Web
2) I had some time to kill on the night shift.
So I fired up Netscape Communicator 4 and started experimenting. I was very proud of my creation at the time, although to be honest I thought there was a little more of it.
The site has had a couple of homes over the years, from cern.ch to Geocities, but each time the host provider either reclaimed the space or closed down.
Now Google has a way of hosting a (simple) website from Google Drive, which you will have if you have a Google account. It’s pretty straight forward and perfect for this use case (and free…)
