So many choices, so little time :)

>couple of days ago Rick Strahl. posted the outfit he used - a bit more expensive as he runs more stuff, but perhaps first to check for windoze, ROI and perhaps even vfp COM after checking with Rick.

>>Sounds like a great deal ($10/mo). If I could find such a deal or even more expensive to "rent" a Windows 2016 or Windows 2019 VM, it would be very helpful.
>>I simply don't have time to test my ASP.NET on Linux. And it is not applicable to my vertical market; 100% of my customers run MS servers.

>>>My first choice for a test server is a $10/mo LInux server on someone else's network. Won't run IIS, of course, but it turns out there's an alternative: run Asp.Net Core on Linux and serve it up with nginix. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/linux-nginx?view=aspnetcore-3.1, If some bad actor messes it up, who cares?. Not that I'm running .Net in any form, of course. But I do have a $10/mo Linux test server for my testing (Lianja of course).
