Yes, that would be good. But as far as I understand github.io (which seems to be the preferred approach) does not allow to redirect subpaths to somewhere else. You would have to install some .htaccess file with a redirect rule and doing that is likely blocked. So my approach is to move everything to a dedicated host/webspace with more control than github.io. > > An additional benefit of a dedicated host/webspace would be, that if this > gets broken in / corrupted, the main site will be unaffected. Well, is this a benefit? At the moment everything (except the database) is hosted on the same machine. So it can not even break independently... > > > Also, I think we should switch to HTTPS, which should be a no-brainer in > times of https://letsencrypt.org but this is a completely different story … Yes, indeed.
