    From Sparky@21:1/192 to All on Tuesday, January 19, 2021 16:12:39
    This is a question for those of you out there that are running Mystic on
    Win10 32bit and running a web server to host a website for your board. What
    are you using for the web server? I have been looking at my options and
    wanted to get some input from you guys.

    I don't use Windows personally, but let me go ahead and hijack the thread:

    Just about everyone with their BBS on a webpage is probably using ftelnet.ca

    If you go to that page, there's instructions on how to use it. It's easy.

    You'll get a hosting account somewhere (I recommend Ovhcloud) and add some js code from ftelnet to your web page.

    When I did this, I switched over to Linux. :)

    I'm using vultr.com, and it's worked pretty well. I know they do have a Win10 option you can do, but basically it doubles the cost of the server. After a while of thinking about it, I just went the Linux route and suffered through the pain of switching systems.

    If you want to run it on the Win32 machine I would go for Caddy. There is no 32-bit download for Win, so you need to build it:
    https://caddyserver.com/docs/build

    Then there are plenty of free options that could be used for static website hosting, like Google Firebase, Gitlab Pages, Neocities, Netlify and many others I don't remember now.
