I started with this hosting company several years ago when I resurrected my 
hobbylinebbs.com running Winserver.  They are very reliable and I have never had any 
downtime or other issues with them.

When Windows 10 dies, I will probably install Chrome OS Flex on it.  I know that there 
are workarounds to bypass Win 11 requirements, but for now it is not an issue.  I no 
longer use that computer for BBS hosting.  What a relief not to have to run my life based 
on Microsoft's policies.  The new server is running Windows Server 2022 and it should be 
good for a while.
