Gopher Holes

So I recently learned that the Gohpernet is still a thing. I thought this faded out of existence when I was a kid. How do you access these sites? Do you install old Netscape or something? How would one go about making a gopher website? Could you host it from a basic (non-VPS) hosting site?

>How do you access these sites? Gopher protocol is really easy, so if you don't have working client you can just telnet into server. I use lynx. If you want some real GUI, install overbiteFF (firefox addon) or connect through some proxy. http://gopherproxy.meulie.net/ >How would one go about making a gopher website?
