[Board] Action: Aex talk to jeffrey johnson and provide feedback by the end of the weekend on what is needed to host the website

[Alex M]

I've split it into 2 parts in my head.

1. migrate the current development site somewhere to keep the dev going
2. figure out the long term hosting solution for deployment

Step 2 does not have to be 100% solved by the end of the month, unlike
Step 1. We just want it to happen soonish so the new site can be rolled out.

Thanks,
Alex
