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.
