Robert, To start this conversation can I suggest the key reason to look at saving methods is for updates, if your websites are read only to visitors you can just choose the appropriate save method to edit your website and upload it to tiddlyspot or any other host. If visitors do not need to save, tiddlywiki's html file can be hosted almost anywhere.
There are plenty of free or cheap hosting options I can even host (in Australia) for you or provide a free/or small donation subomain eg groupesp.online121.net groupesp.colabteam.net Your Questions (quick responses) 1. Not as far as dynamic features lists etc... but as textual content mostly 2. No not really but new and better options exist in TWC, maybe time for a website refresh? Especially to become mobile enabled "responsive" 3. TiddlyDesktop will let you locally edit and save TWC and TW5 There is refactoring of documentation in the works, new tools maturing and plenty of published editions you may use as a starting point. All I can suggest is search in this forum, ask more detailed questions here, follow links you come across especially in tiddlywiki.com and you will get your answers. One suggestion at this point of your enquiry is to spend a couple of hours exploring the tiddlyverse and don't get bogged down in a single edition or solution yet, keep making a broad sweep of what is available and at the end of your research you will be much better informed.
