Today I declare this website upgraded from Drupal 9 to Drupal 10. In most ways the upgrade went smouthy, and certainly was easier than previous major version upgrades.
Still, the Theme was using isn't available in Drupal 10, so i had to choose and configure a new theme. That was harder than it should be IMHO.
Harder was getting Quotes to work as I'd like. Formatting was tRicky.

I use this website as an archive of my scientific publications and as a place to post occasional observations on life, the world, and whatever comes my way. It's all very indulgent at this point.
Drupal 7 to Drupal 9
I've just completed migrating the site from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9, which was more work than certainly I'd have liked. But Drupal 7 is way out of date now, and they say future upgrades will be pretty painless. We'll see about that.

I've been happily using a VPS from http://www.digitalocean.com for my hosting for the past 6 months or so now. Great service at a great price.

I host a number of low traffic Drupal (drupal.org) websites. Several for a non-profit, a few consulting shops, a book & poetry site. Low traffic, but a couple sites use lots of drupal modules, so performance and resource limits can sometimes be issues.
