Ask HN: How to build a personal blog/website from the ground up?
I have always wanted to build a very simple personal website or blog.
Examples: http://www.paulgraham.com/index.html
and
http://ruina.tam.cornell.edu/.
I have some experience with web development, but this will be a learning experience. Looking for all recommendations on how best to host and develop a website that is entirely my own.
Thank you!

Host your site on the cheapest VPS you can find. It'll give you an excuse to learn Linux and basic sysadmin.
