Yes, it's a dedicated server (or I guess what they call in the cloud today).

Im my case the BBS is running in the lowest cost ($5/month) option so it's not
actually a dedicated machine but it runs the BBS nicely. It has IPv4 and IPv6
and there are options to upgrade as you need.

I'm not exactly sure what the internet speed is but it is a big fat pipe.. :)

It's just a trial so I could easily take the BBS back to my own computer but so

far I am liking it. Uptime is something greater that 99%.
