[arm-allstar] ALTERNATIVE hosting site

[Chris]

For your hub, you will have to use a copy of ASL.

I ran my hub on Vultr for a year or so and had issues with packet loss at times. (Like MAJOR packet loss)

I moved to NFO servers. They cost 12.95 a month, but are much better! They are a game server host, so latency is their no1 priority. Also, that is where the Brandmeister servers live.

I have an ASL hub there, a DMR server there and an analog bridge there. I have been much happier.
