Hello

I can only speak for germany

The disadvantage here in Germany is simply that renting servers, which also have
a large storage capacity, is simply unaffordable! If I only have a  manageable
database, it is of course cheaper. That's what I did with my BBS forum and rented
a server ($28/month).But with a BBS with a large file base it is unaffordable.

Greetings

Mike
