I think it's too obvious for that... and not FTN-related (more generic).

That should be the first step when developing software.
However, I'm mostly brushing the existing code, so I need real messages (published in real echoes by other people with different software) for testing...

I use VPSes (containers) for that purpose: this also allows quick node migration, once I'd need that.

VMs (VDSes) seem to be the overkill for FTN software... unless you need to perform tests on various proprietary systems, of course.
MR> And for marketing purposes you could call that a test cloud ;)
There's no such thing as a cloud - there are only computers you don't own (or even control). And when someone tells you about clouds, they are very likely creating the fog for whatever reasons :-)
