   Hello Alexey!   
      
   03 Feb 20 00:01, you wrote to me:   
      
   Thank you for your reaction. Some quotes with explanations:   
      
    KK>> Ended with Golded, Crashmail, Binkd (and Htick).   
    AV> Drop out crashmail, use HPT instead.   
      
   I took htick from that project and it was nightmare. Dependency hell. (what to   
   build first, then second, etc.) I will not do it again to myself.   
      
    KK>> for 0.50 EUR/month.   
    AV> Good price. Where?   
      
   It was https://old.4smart.cz/ - but in Czech. New registrations are stopped,   
   guy is moving to "cloud" and prices are now higher and flat (monthly)   
      
    AV> When you see the word "cloud", be careful: those people want to fool   
    AV> you.   
      
   It is that CLI (based on Ubuntu) which I like anyway for managing Azure VM's.   
   Looks like I am first one who put there Fido Point ;-) Cost is just for few MB   
   related to Fido SW. I had to solve CodePage (luit), missing ARJ, DynDNS, ANSI   
   term for Golded...   
      
    AV> You pay with your data then.   
      
   There is some free throughput as well. We will see. For 2 weeks, 0 EUR.   
      
    AV> Generally, any < 1 EUR/month VM would be more than enough for a   
    AV> Fidonet node (and, if necessary, some additional functions).   
      
   But where (else)?
