This site is served up by a mighty Raspberry Pi II
For more information about the Raspberry Pi see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi
Running GNU/Linux on ARM - specifically, Diet-Pi https://dietpi.com and the LigHTTPd web server daemon https://www.lighttpd.net
Of course none of this would have happened without GNU and the FSF

Here are the system stats if you are interested http://www.cpcnw.co.uk/sysinfo/sysinfo.htm
Costings for the above build are as follows;
- Plastic Case £5.29
- MicroSD Card £9.66
- Raspberry Pi II £29.93
- UK Mains Plugin PSU £6
- Chipset Heat Sink Kit £3.50
- Sandisk Memory Vault 8GB £6.49
Total Cost £60.87
Edit: Have since replaced the Sandisk memory Vault as it has inbuilt write limits. Instead I have installed the following;
SDSA6AM-016G-1006 SanDisk U110 16GB MLC SATA 6Gbps Half-Slim SATA Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Bought two brand new off http://www.ebay.co.uk for cheap. The prices have all gone up now.
They have an MTBF 2000000 Hour(s) which equates to 228 years. Should see me out I reckon.
I have also replaced the plastic case with a metal case which has vents etc and improved cooling.
