Hosting the site from home may be an option if symmetric fiber is available and the site doesn't get a huge amount of traffic.

But when I die then someone will just throw away the computer when they clean out the flat/house ^^.

How will your server bill be paid if/when you die?

That is the question I ask at the end. If I could pre-pay for 10 years I'd probably do it.

A simple low traffic website doesn’t even need anything close to symmetric fiber. Your run-of-the-mill shitty cable internet usually gives you 15-30mbps. Thats more than enough unless your site is really popping off.
