Actually, my virtual machine @Digital Ocean has been $5.25/month. Can't get static IP on my Fios for that. Domain registration and DNS via Google Domains is another buck per month...
I run mail, web and DNS for $6.25/month on FreeBSD or Linux with full root control.

Do I want to reserve retronet.us? Could host that here, as I have static
IPs.
Having static IPs hanging of a FIOS line is cheaper and easier than
dealing with a hoster..
