Thanks, Dave. I have initiated the cancellation process, and the
vendor has informed me that I will receive the refund in 7-10 days. If
that happens, I don't think that I should name the company, and I hate
naming names, to begin with.
Best.

Thanks, Itamar. BTW, the vendor pointed out that it is my
responsibility to keep the server up-to-date, including applying the
latest security patches. How can I do that, when the installed
distribution is no longer supported? I know, it's not even funny. Yes,

I know this is not the best time for a joke, but it appears the hosting
vendor didn't even ask if you preferred Phillips or slotted. Just on a
