Actually, my virtual machine @Digital Ocean has been $5.25/month. Can't get static
IP on my Fios for that. Domain registration and DNS via Google Domains is another buck
per month...
I run mail, web and DNS for $6.25/month on FreeBSD or Linux with full root control.

Do I want to reserve retronet.us? Could host that here, as I have static
IPs.
Having static IPs hanging of a FIOS line is cheaper and easier than
dealing with a hoster..

Hmm. I hate to bring this up, but I've been
using the name RetroNET as
well. I've had the domain retronet.net registered for ages, and was
about to launch a small pilot project with a handful of 3B2 emulators
running SVR3, with the hope for many more interconnected systems.
*gulp*
So /you're/ the person that had the domain name we originally wanted. ;-)
We actually decided that we liked "Retro Comp(uting) . Net(work)" and
have registered that name. There is a wiki(…) and forum(…), but the
main website isn't up yet.
We are about a week into the discussions. Please join us in the
#retronet group on the Synchronet network. (irc.chivanet.org)
That said, maybe we could pool our efforts?
I'd be happy to share the
domain name with this effort, since it's precisely in line with what
I'd like to see.
~sigh~of~relief~
I think we would love to welcome more members into the RetroNet.
As much as anything else, the idea is to build a community of friendly
folks that want to play / learn / help each other, likely in direct
relation to retro computing.
