    is it too late trying to into software development at 37?

    Hello No, it is never too late to pivot into IT career. However, for technical roles, you have to have a technical mindset, and the attitude of self served problem solving. Not to spend years in an university degree, you might go for intensive 6 months course or coding school. Some coding...

    Hi Yes of course you can. You need to install guest additions AND extension pack (which has a different free to use license) Then you can map disk drives from host to guest. Cheers Gianluca

    Run Chrome Plugin Virtually & When PC Is Off

    A server, on premise or cloud, physical or virtual, is capable of running software. A website might execute some scheduled actions, depending on the software and the hosting capabilities, so it really depends on the setup.

    Most cost effective place to buy Windows Server 2019 Standard?

    Hello Have a look at Amazon or Ebay too. Ask for the item to be original and coming with a proper invoice. Resellers may have a stock of old unsold licenses that they will be very happy to give away at discount. Also, bear in mind that W2022 license gives you the right to install a W2019 version...

    Picking a cloud provider (AWS, Azure, Goole Cloud etc.)

    Hello Linode has good reputation. They sell only shared virtual machines, which may not be the best, or not allowed in some cases, but that's not your case. However, you see they bind the network traffic to the node computing size, and the amount is large but not infinite, in order of terabytes...

    Picking a cloud provider (AWS, Azure, Goole Cloud etc.)

    Hello Of course all of the cloud provider are good and reliable, so the choice should be made on the cost for the services you're going to use. I suggest you to develop in a platform independent way, not to be locked in the specific provider's platform and to be free to move to another platform...

    SSL Certificate expired- any Free options?

    Hello Let's say you should always use an SSL certificate and even go HTTPS only because browsers are starting to scare people about not using encrypted connections.

    IONOS email not working - what's a good alternative?

    To be fair, there may be a number of reasons why email is not working properly, including misconfiguration of email clients and antivirus softwares. @MyAccountantOnline when you look for a new provider, I assume you already checked for these issues and ensured the problem resides on Ionos side.

    IONOS email not working - what's a good alternative?

    As @fisicx said, hostinguk.net seems a good choice, even though I didn't know them. They have a very cheap "standard email" service https://hostinguk.net/email for 25 mailboxes, which seesm to good to be true. Other choices are Gmail (which I like for private use, but not for business use) or...
