The https://ambridge-garden-club.org.uk/ is hosted at MythicBeasts, a
small independent hosting provider, who are Linux friendly, but the key
point is that it is based on a standard Debian system, which can be
hosted anywhere, and hence can not be locked in.
I am advocating choice, as the alternative for small organisations,
with no IT sysadmin, is to put everything on Facebook, or Google Docs,
or Microsoft Office 365 - and then every member of your organisation is
locked into that ecosystem.
