<p>Hi,</p>
For Wordpress there is Network 23 or Webarchitects. I don't know
about activist-friendly Drupal hosting though. You could automate
Drupal core and module updates, which would give some security
confidence. But someone would probably need to have a bit of
oversight. Also the OS of the server would need updating regularly,
although this could possibly also be automated. <br>
<br>
Ensuring that the system is set up in a secure way and staying
abreast of security issues is probably always going to require a
human. Again with backups, these can be automated but need checking
every so on.<br>
<br>
I've been supporting a Drupal system for a activist/charity group
for years and the work involved in staying updated, backed up and
secure is really minimal (although we could do with a security
checkup by someone who knows more than I do). Almost all my time is
spent fiddling about with CiviCRM, which you should avoid at all
costs.<br>

<div>Good to see plans for barncamp, I enjoyed the last; might
come again. Bit busy a the mo, but will look out for jobs.</div>

</div>
<div>Hope it's ok if I throw a question out;</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There's a couple of groups I know with floundering
websites/digital lives. Is there any such thing as an
activist-friendly 'full service' website provision (and,
possibly, email and mailing list)? I.e. the administration
over and above hosting, and cheap, ticking privacy/security
boxes? Or perhaps suitable, established professionals to take
on the admin with current hosting setups. Perhaps a robot that
doesn't eat or pay bills :) The sites are currently drupal,
but I'm thinking towards whatever.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know it would be ideal to have more user engagement, diy,
volunteering etc., and sure there's room for discussion here-
maybe this isn't a good way to go- but realistically, I'm not
seeing the more informal approaches working out sustainably,
here and other smallgroups. So thought I'd ask around for
options or thoughts...</div>
