For me it would be price first and then location. I don't think speed will be an issue with most providers.

@mike-davis Same here. I have done it both ways.

If you guys and gals charge for example $100/hour, do you charge the same rate for travel or a discounted rate?

@travisdh1 I know. I have the hardest time convincing people to just try something else. I use Xero and love it. I also used Wave for a while to become familiar with it.

I wish I could convince them to go lan-less and use nextcloud but they are using Quickbooks Elite??? or something of the sort. Its a step above the "Pro" I believe. They have a custom piece of software that ties MS Access to QB.

Yes. Server 2012 Essentials (IIRC). Single physical server. It is a cheap Dell T320. Not a good setup but I don't know who sold it to them or did the install. Less than 10 users.

Never hurts for me to confirm my logic on here. Thanks.

I have a friend who runs a small company and has an ISP (wireless) that cannot provide a public IP for them. It is rural and there are zero other choices for providers at the moment. They need a small VPN solution for 1 to 5 employees. Minimal usage as it will be used for invoices, etc. No large files or graphics. I thought about a VPS with OpenVPN but they need simple. Again, they are a small company and do not have an IT staff. Is Zerotier still a logical choice for them? I am leaning towards it as a solution but thought I may gather some input from the brain trust here.

Ran PostgreSQL on Windows Server 2012R2 for a CRM database and had zero issues. Was not a huge database by far but I would recommend it as well.

I just loaded one to do some testing. Don't plan on using it for production. I may use Bluehost or Vultr on Fedora. My main reason was to get familiar with a theme and see if I like it. Then, I can destroy the instance and make it permanent and with the correct underlying OS.

Anyone running a WP site from Vultr using their app? Testing with it now but finding it odd that it uses CentOS6.

I use Vultr and have each customer set up as a different site. Works perfect.

Take the air out of the tires and refill them with nitrogen. Problem solved.

Congratulations on the new endeavor!

Setting up an Nginx proxy thanks to @JaredBusch and @Tim_G for my nextcloud installs. Just have to figure out the SSL certs now.

Just an FYI - to get semanage to work on Fedora 27, I had to install policycoreutils-python-utils

@black3dynamite Seems like everyone leaves the data in the default location. I can't recall anyone moving it outside of /var/www/html/nextcloud/data on most things i have read including @JaredBusch guides.

It showed the 2.91Tb as a drive if you looked with the parted command in Fedora but if you df-h it just showed / as 15Gb. I got so used to using Ubuntu for everything and have slowly been migrating away to Fedora. I am no expert and will be the first to admit it.
