About

This website, and the technology to host the website, has been created at home.

The website is built from a template offered by WordPress and the host (webserver) is running on a Raspberry Pi connected to our broadband router.

A domain name (strover.com), Raspberry Pi and an SD memory card plus a home broadband connection are the only expenses. If the website is down then it’s likely we haven’t found the fix yet on Google!
