    So, I've been thinking of setting up my own mastodon server. It would be for only me and a few close friends in the www.PotholeStudios.com gaming community.

    However, I seem to be running into a few snags.

    1. I only have access to Windows server. No Linux. As I have other server software for some games that only run on windows server.
    (I have a 1U Rack Server in my home office with plenty of performance to spare, running windows server)

    2. Everybody's favourite, Dynamic IP.
    (Router does have the ability to use DynDNS and/or NO-IP)

    3. I do have a domain name, but I'd probably have to use a subdomain such as social.potholestudios.com or mastodon.potholestudios.com so how would I link a subdomain like that to a server on a dynamic IP through GoDaddy using DynDNS or No-IP?

    :::START EDIT:::
    4. No money to buy another server or cloud storage.

    5. Once had a Linux server. Debian 5 has put me off Linux for life. Never again.
    :::END EDIT:::

    So, the question is, is it possible to run a Mastodon server with these limitations?
