>So many choices, so little time :)

Bet you don't say that on the crowded beach when your wife is around ;-))

Rick used Vulture or something similar, I looked them over and if they deliver what Rick says at those prices they are good. Also - you ask about Web servers and he is Rick S. - even NOT considering vfp he is a great Icebreaker to swim after.

>>>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.

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).
