A minor correction, the reports page operates from the opennic util servers.

As for my home connection, yes it's business-class.  I finally got the new fiber connection last month (also business-class) and will be dropping Comcast shortly, so I expect the service to be even more reliable now.  Plus I have a full 50/50 pipe now instead of that joke of 16/3 that Comcast provided.  In addition, I maintain a DSL connection as a backup and can update the DNS entries if a long-term outage is ever expected.

Regarding the current page hosting... since there are people here now who actually know HOW to set up the connection to github, etc, any chance you could actually go ahead and create that setup on the existing opennic web servers?  That way if you do disappear, the rest of us at least have a sample setup so we can see what you were doing and try to get the website back online without having to recreate all the content?

I'm currently operating the homepage which is being hosted on Netlify. Netlify exactly mirrors from the GitHub repo, where we can fallback to GitHub Pages if Netlify doesn't work out or mirror it on our own servers with little hassle, there's many fallback options there.

The Wiki is currently on Amazon which Holly (fusl) is operating. That could theoretically cease to exist if she stops paying but I highly doubt that would ever happen, especially without warning, and the pages there are mirrored to GitHub as well, so if that goes down all we need to do is host DokuWiki somewhere else and import those pages.

The servers, API, and reports sites are hosted from Jeff's (Shdwdrgn) personal home connection on a business line if I remember correctly. This is the one I'm the most concerned about, because it doesn't seem super redundant, but it's also been operating for a good while with no huge, major issues. It seems pretty stable.

Everyone hosting the sites knows what they're doing. And most of us have assumed financial obligations a long time ago I'd think, the Tier 1/Tier 2 servers can't be cheap in the long run. OpenNIC will be fine.

erm...  just noticed that the opennic site is now being hosted on
cloudfront ... read amazon.

Is someone paying for this?  If so, when did we start assuming financial
obligations?  If someone is donating this, what happens when that person
stops paying?

Sure, there's a cost to hosting and there's similar risks on self hosted
scenarios, but at least it's quite easy to mirror and rebuild on donated
resources vs capital requirements which worries me that at some point,
opennic members will have to start paying some sort of maintenance fees.
