I really like that idea and I understand that this is aimed specifically at the friend mentioned on the site so it takes their technical ability into account but I think for most people who are struggling with basic tasks like these instructions like

> Create a directory to hold your website and cd into it.

would already confuse them.

Now that you already got that nice domain I think I'd be great to have a guide like that aimed at beginners with more detailed instructions. I could see this as a great resource to link friends who always thought about getting their own little site, even if it's just a page listing their contact details.

Great article!

What's the database backed dynamic website equivalent of this? For node? For python? For ruby?

Building out your own deployment on AWS or linode is obnoxious. Heroku gets expensive fast.

how do you downvote here?

You've got to get your earn the right to downvote by being a productive member of the community. I think it's 500 karma before you can downvote

You can't downvote stories. You can only flag them when they're inappropriate.

Get a free OpenShift account. You can configure your stack by point-and-click, then clone a git repo, and push to it to deploy.
