Hi,
Following a two week downtime period in December, I had moved the python-il wiki from its previous hosting on hexten.net to a private server (small node in Amazon's eu-west), where it is still hosted. (Note that we also have a static site on Hamakor, which we can edit, but we are not free to install any software we wish there).
Due to the spam attack that preceded this downtime, I had also disabled self-service-account-creation for a while.
After some cleanup, I have re-enabled auto account creation, but it now requires a CAPTCHA / voice challenge (I do not like it, and I know there are ways to bypass it, but it seems like the minimal-effort working solution to the current problem).
Seems like the Amazon hosting costs about 70$/month, which is not cheap.
Since I do not currently use this server for any other purpose: any idea for alternative/free/cheaper option?
