My 2c and Wayne you probably will not like it.

Many may suggest that the BBS is mission critical, at times it is.

Your e-commerce web site IMHO is one of the best on the internet and a testament to your technical skills and from a business (revenue) point of view, is mission critical.

IMHO running these two apps internally will cost you big money. The cost is the 'opportunity cost' of spending time away from driving your business by having to worry and administer a web hosting environment.

I would suggest that maybe you should outsource the hosting task to professionals and spend your time either driving your business or driving your car.

Wintel hardware may be cheap, but keeping it running is time consuming.
