I really like the Hack font for coding. No mixing up O0, Il, or any other characters. GitHub - source-foundry/Hack: A typeface designed for source code[^]

I second the vote for looking at Azure. For you sub-site, you can use the basic (free or shared) plan if your project's fit the requirements. They don't support custome certificates, however, you can use a free cloudflare account to apply HTTPS (using the Cloudflare cert from CloudFlare to Azure) They have also added a new pricing model for SQL that is based on usage. To see pricing, go to the Azure Pricing Calculator ()[^], select SQL, for Computer Tier select "ServerLess". The pricing is much more reasonable. Back to the websites, the Free App Service plan is free (but limited in options), shared starts around $10 per month, and basic is 54.75 per month (B1: 1 Core, 1.75 GB Ram, 10GB Storage). I don't use MySql, but a quick look at the SAAS (Software as a Service) for MySql shows around $50 per month. It may very likely be cheaper to setup a Linux VM and install MySql, depending on your requirements. I looked at the pricing using the East US region, but you might want something closer. They have UK South, and North Europe regions for something closer to you, but it may affect pricing. If you purchase Visual Studio (yearly subscription), you can use the Azure Subscription that gives you 50$ credit per month which allows you to set things up and not have to pay anything as long as you don't exceed the credit. Another option is to get a Test/Dev Subscription which has reduced pricing. I've found Azure to be very easy to deal with and once you get comfortable with how to manage thing you'll find that it is generally trouble free.

Unfortunately, 34" is the only size in computer monitors and it's about 32" wide. I would love it if they made on 48" wide (Ultra Ultra Wide). I've considered getting a second monitor, but it would take up 64" and that is a lot of desktop space. It also be nice if they increased the rate of the curve on a monitor that large, going for the wrap around effect.

I do the majority of coding in VS and I've found a couple of good uses for the wide format. It lets me not worry about the sizing of the left and right panes in Visual Studio. Mainly, the Solution Explorer panel and the Tools panel. Those panels can creep into the central panel and leave you feeling like you are coding on a post it note. Another use is when pinning each app to one half of the screen, it's like having 2 4:3 screens side by side (I didn't figure out if it actually works out to 4:3 on each half). So, browser in one side, Visual Studio in the other. It works pretty well for me. You are correct in that the monitor probably cost way more than 2 4:3 monitors, but overall there is less clutter (one set of cables).

I surprised no one seems to be speaking from experience of actually using a curved extra wide monitor. I have an LG 34" IPS Curved UltraWide monitor that I've been using for a couple of months now and I have to say I am very happy with it. When sitting at the monitor, you can't see the curve, but it does seem to be slightly easier to see the corners. Of course, it could be in my head too. The ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio is also very nice. I like the factor that although it's wide, it's not tall, so I don't find myself getting a crook in my neck looking up to the top of the screen. Just my two cents.
