A wiki is NOT a dynamic website, it has NO dynamic content strictly speaking : the content only has to be generated upon updating and not with every GET request.

Also, I don't really see what Javascript has to do with all this.

An ikiwiki setup has a very small memory footprint, and nginx doesn't consume more. Same goes for CPU. And ikiwiki is based on git, which allows for a decentralized architecture, and very efficient versionning.

What I'm saying here is that relying on 3rd parties solutions while a very cheap (or even free) VPS would be sufficient is asking for unnecessary trouble.

GitHub <https://github.com/> offers free hosting for code and web pages. The way it works is any code that happens to be HTML is available as if it were a traditional, hosted website. If we want a fairly flat website for documentation, no wiki or server running, this would be a convenient solution.

If, on the other hand, we want a website that serves dynamic content, like a wiki, we could setup a Node.js server on the free Joyent <http://joyent.com/> cloud.
