The incremental cost of adding it to jatws.org is zilch. It already hosts a few web sites such as https://www.jatws.org/ing4trainz/index.ht https://www.jatws.org/PWeiser/index.htm, https://www.jatws.org/jarran/Index.html.

i Beg to differ with you: Here is a Breakdown of Website Hosting Costs in 2025
The cost of hosting a website in the US in 2025 can range from $2 to $500+ per month, depending on the type of hosting and features needed. Shared hosting is the most affordable option, while dedicated hosting offers the highest performance and cost.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Types of Hosting and Associated Costs:
  • Shared Hosting:
    .
    This is the most budget-friendly option, with prices typically ranging from $2 to $10 per month. It involves sharing server resources with other websites.
  • VPS Hosting:
    .
    Offers more control and resources than shared hosting, with costs ranging from $20 to $100 per month.
  • Dedicated Hosting:
    .
    Provides a dedicated server for your website, offering maximum performance and control. Costs can range from $80 to $500+ per month.
  • Cloud Hosting:
    .
    Scalable and flexible, with costs ranging from $10 to $100+ per month, depending on usage.
Other Potential Costs:
  • Domain Name:
    .
    Expect to pay $10 to $25 per year for a domain name.

  • Website Builder and Design:
    .
    Website builder platforms may have monthly fees, or you may pay a one-time fee for design and development. Costs can range from $0 to $200+.

  • Themes and Plugins:
    .
    If using a platform like WordPress, premium themes and plugins can add to the monthly or annual cost.

  • E-commerce Features:
    .
    Online stores will incur additional costs for shopping cart software, payment gateways, and PCI compliance.

  • Website Maintenance:
    .
    This includes tasks like security updates, content updates, and troubleshooting. Costs can range from $5 to $5,000 per month depending on the complexity of the website.
Factors Influencing Hosting Costs:
  • Traffic:
    Websites with high traffic will require more resources and potentially higher-tier hosting plans.

  • Storage and Bandwidth:
    The amount of storage space and bandwidth you need will also affect the cost.

  • Security Needs:
    Websites handling sensitive data will require more robust security measures, which may come at an additional cost.
In summary, while a basic website can be hosted for a relatively low cost, more advanced websites with specific needs will require a higher budget for hosting and maintenance

Sorry your point is? Jatws.org is already paid for, provided you use jatws.org/ing4trainz you don't need an additional domain name. The site includes wordpress already which is usually enough, HTTPS is included. A
list of kuid numbers doesn't really need ecommerce, web site maintenance? I don't really see this as a major problem.
