That's definitely true, but you'll need some knowledge too. And not to mention, continuous power to it. I imagine you need to do some regular maintenance to it and thus reboot it sometimes ?

Being Windows I have it set to pull updates once a week and if required reboot.

I have a generator dedicated for the server and internet. Of course during extended outages the generator struggles. Internet is the problem. I can keep my end up. It's the provider that needs to keep theirs up.

It's hosted on his home servers and his area got hit by Hurricane Milton so it might be a little spotty sometimes.

As Shawn said the servers were right in the path of hurricane Milton. Power has been shakey. On then off. The generator keeps up. There are lags as it takes over. Should stabilize in the next few days.

I don't think I've heard of (m)any forum owners hosting their forum on their home server or even having a home server. That's pretty neat!

I'm glad you are safe from the hurricane and the board should stabilize soon!

Been doing it for over 20 years. It just made sense. I've had business class high speed internet with static IP's since 2002. It makes everything easier. Only cost is for electricity that powers the servers.
