I have the same. A cloud instance at Hetzner, nginx as webserver using certbot for automatic SSL generation. I also use a static site generator which I wrote myself to produce my blog https://norbert.hartl.name . I use the skeleton CSS library which is tiny and understandable and does not need tons of markup.

This is one of my playgrounds for pillar and microdown. I think pharo settles around this combination to produce documents which is very well suited to produce a website, too.

I am using a Linux VPS which I manage myself.

The Pharo application is my blog. It was a web app fronted by a HTTPS
reverse proxy. At the start of this year I rewrote it into a static site
generator. Instead of running all the time, Pharo is now invoked when
triggered by a CI hook, which happens when I publish a new blog post or
otherwise update my site.

I play with all kinds of software on my VPS and it was getting a bit RAM
cramped, hence the rewrite. Wasn't willing to spend more money every month
for more RAM. :-P
