I got a renewal notice from pskhosting.com, I'd forgotten I'd grabbed a deal last year around new years.
The deal is your basic shared hosting, control panel, Apache, MySQL, IMAP, 120 GB of storage, and it's $9/year.

I snagged a 4cpu host with 4gb and 90gb hard disk with 4TB of bandwidth for $70 a year with full KVM (none of that openvz crap). I run my bbs on that.

Per YEAR? That's pretty darn good. But I only see per MONTH
figures on their site. Or.. are you getting an exclusive because
you are previous customer?

that's too cheap. i'd expect bad service for that much. i've seen bad service for that much.

Oh wait, $9 a year. Yeah. One of those reseller type accounts or something. They're cheap but you lose a lot of the freedom and configuratability.

I got a one-time deal and I keep renewing it, because I'll
never see a deal like it again.

My other server is $59 a year with 4gb 3 cpu, 75gb disk space anf 5tb of b/w.
You can get some crazy good deals. Just make sure you go for a provider that's
been around for a while. There was an influx of new companies all offering great deals and then they shutdown within in a few months, taking all the payments with them.

i duno, i think it sounds kind of lame to run a bbs on a VPS .. when a user goes for the 'page sysop' command you should be able to break in to chat because you heard the machine beeping at you.
even when i had dialup internet back in the day the bbs worked just fine for two nodes (granted i paid my isp for a private dedicated number to connect 24/7..) nowadays just about any internet connection is overkill for a bbs.
i suppose if you have crummy internet or don't have a spare pc your options might be limited..
to each their own i guess
If both bbs and sysio are running linux I have a pager for that
situation, though email/discord might be better. Buyt still usefull for recreating the retro experience...
interesting. like a cell phone type of pager or something different? i remember you used to be able to email like: <phonenumber>@<carrier>.com or whatever to send texts.. i wonder if that still works. though if you don't route an internet email address to your users you couldn't respond. who knows, all this work and your users might just text profanities to you all day lol

What if you already have one IP and you're already running services on those addresses? Most IPS are not going to give residential customers more than one IP.

You can usually pay a little more for static IP address and get a 5-pack. I've had 5-packs since the late '90s with DSL and cable modem service.
the main thing i don't care for with IPv6 is the loss of NAT which, granted, is not needed, but it is a way to kind of prote
your devices by keeping them hidden... IPv6 is not meant to be hidden and every address is meant to
be accessible from everywhere... it is a huge change from IPv4 thinking, really...

Interesting. So there is not such thing as an IPv6 router with a
NAT?

I thought the whole idea was to go back to the internet-of-old,
where everything is on the network?
Telnet and/or SSH still need to be on different ports and NATed in,
but that's easier to deal with than users or applications that
expect to be on ports 80 or 443.
For telnet/ssh you could have a system setup on the standard ports
to telgate to the appropriate internal system... Of course, that
would limit sftp to the one system.
Which means you'd be paying for a service to redirect your ports
plug the added latency. You might as well get a $50pa VPS.
if i'm given an IPv6 /48 block of addresses, i put that into my DHCP server and configure it to hand out those addresses any
way i want... so i could take my /48 and have my DHCP server hand out /50s giving me 4 internal
subnets... or i could split it into 8 /51s... or even 32 /53s... the only thing that matters is that my DHCP can adjust to t
new /48 prefix that my ISP may allocate if i do not have a static /48 with them... as long as my
DHCP server can do that, everything should work just fine...

But you are no getting that sort of poorman's DMZ without some hacky solutions, unless the ISP deigns to give you a subnettable block. Which
is exactly what pisses me off.
Not so uncommon scenario:
ISP->Home router->LAN 1->Inner Router->LAN 2
The official way of having LAN 2 have a consistent way of managing dynamic addresses is prefix delegation. Home Router 1 gets
an assignment from the ISP. Then Inner Router gets an assignment from Home Router. Otherwise, if the ISP block changes, the
addresses in LAN 2 get stale and you are not Internet routable anymore.

two things:
use only one DHCP server.
shorten your DHCP lease times.
i won't say anything about everyone being taken in by the sales talk and "router this", "router that" muckity muck... one only truely needs switches their different networks and they might should reconsider how their LANs
are connected... here, we have all of our LANs originating at one device... that one device handles everything for each LAN and each LAN is quite separa and distinct from the others... but that's just us...

Sure, but you often want every segment administrated by a different person. Or separated at a logical level beyond having a single device take care of every address assignment.
