This site is hosted on an Amazon EC2 instance running Ubuntu Server. I use Nginx as a lightning-fast webserver and reverse-proxy. I use Django as my web framework, and GUnicorn as my Python WSGI HTTP Server. Database content is served by AWS RDS for PostgreSQL. Search is provided by PostgreSQL FTS.
I use Wagtail as my CMS. I've found Wagtail to be wonderfully flexible and powerful, though it can come with a steep learning curve. Bootstrap and Sass help me out on the front end. TLS encryption is provided by Let's Encrypt, and Cloudflare provides DDOS protection, a CDN, a DNS, DNSSEC, and ESNI. To avoid bots, I use Google's reCAPTCHA on my contact page. Finally, this site is typeset in the lovely EB Garamond, provided by Google Fonts.
and other good things.
