Hi Dennis, Don't worry about hosting issues when comparing the options. The group should probably get its own hosting anyway. The Mappa Mercia one is super easy to use and that's coming from somebody who is not techy at all.
To set up the wordpress account all that was needed was to sign in to Webfaction dashboard, select "add new application" and then click wordpress. Ta-da a fully functional wordpress installation! Since then we added an application for simple (static) pages. This is how we drive the maps on mappa-mercia.org. Key things is that whatever we do it is easy to use. The old mappa-mercia site wasn't and we were dependent on one person. When he left the site died. Similarly the current state of the map website is github pages system and is too techie for me. This is frustrating as I now rely on one or two people to do the updates. You need the barrier to be low so that as many people as possible can be involved with keeping it maintained. *Rob*
