That is pretty awesome to provide that. I am glad we know about this simple
act of charity

A few people asked why OBRA has a physical server and router. The historical reason is that the dynamic OBRA website dates from 2005, and cloud hosting was barely a thing then!

But the main reason we���ve continued with our own hardware is that Atmosera (originally EasyStreet) has donated hosting and bandwidth for that entire time. This has saved OBRA lots of money over the years, and Atmosera���s support has always been friendly and professional even for non-profits.

Thanks to John Beaston for starting this!
