Hi armo...@mail.ee
It's obvious that Freedos is dying.
What makes you think so?
I can probably revive it if I take a course towards the servers.
Which servers?
For example, you can save a lot of money if you deploy a VPN on Free DOS.
Linux is better for that and zero already is a very good price.
I'm sure that VPN is already possible there, but it needs to be
advertised. Even in this small version, Free DOS is already useful.
I am not aware of a VPN for FreeDOS. But there are DOS web servers:

Free DOS should be server-oriented, no one will want to sit in the console
anymore (and even if you compile horg it won't help there too much...)
Part of the fun of FreeDOS is that it is simple and console oriented.
Linux is successful because of servers. but now Linux is very heavy
compared to Free DOS and you can win on this. especially if you provide
ready-made builds for example for email, matrix (python is slow ...
activity pab, for example Pleroma (better not Mostadon, complex ...
Linux and Android are very lightweight: They even run on phones.
People use phones as hotspot servers (WiFi access points) already.
I am not a programmer but I can help. For example, in advertising.
Get deep knowledge about the product first, then suggest a campaign.
I have PHP SQL hosting which is free, we pay only for the domain
You mean a domain like https://freedos.org/ ?
... buy a short domain and make a free ddns for free dos users.
A DynDNS like armored.fdos.org? What would YOU like to host there?
then because of the freebies people would install servers on old
devices (for many people electricity is free or very cheap).
They would have to find a device old enough for FreeDOS first.
