Hello fellow BBS Sysops!
Soon to be returning BBS sysop here! Just wondering if you all have any suggestions for hosting a BBS in the cloud on a budget? Free is best, but also looking for up to $5 a month.
Looking to host Synchronet 3.21 for Windows on a micro instance. Reason is to run old school door games. (I have never mastered setting up DOSEMU, so I would rather not have Linux).
I've seen the free trials for AWS, etc. But they're trials. Not free for the long haul. And I'm leery of hidden usage charges.
I see where Oracle has a free tier, but wonder if you can host a Windows instance there?
Thanks! submitted by /u/jbledsoe2112 [link] [comments]
