Yep. That's how it went with my friends and I hosting phpBB for many years on a linux-based hosting provider. When I spun up YAF.Net on an AWS IIS server, with a same-machine backend of SQLEXPRESS, it ran like a champ for years with hardly a blip. 16 bucks a month. It wasn't ever really snappy, per se, but at least it was consistent and didn't bog down.
