DIY website hosting

Project Summary: ParadoxResearch.net is a dynamic platform that showcases my full-stack development expertise. At its core lies a custom PHP content management system (crmbl CMS) I built, which seamlessly handles hosting multiple domains (explore the examples!). This project not only demonstrates my back-end development skills but also serves as a springboard for future educational resources. The site will eventually offer tutorials on do-it-yourself home server and website hosting, reflecting the very functionality it exemplifies – running entirely on a home-based cluster of load-balanced servers.
