I fully agree, I didn’t think this server config was so old. I understand that hosting providers don’t like to upgrade things very often, but even then, it was surprisingly oldish. However, they have done very well hosting mail and web, etc., for me for nearly a decade with excellent support and offered me an 85% discount on this box, which meets my budget of $0. Since I am eating the cost for a community I belong to that wants to get off facebook and have a non-commercial and private area to talk about our specialized subject, it was hard to pass up the price. I don’t like to mess with installing packages and that particular nightmare, nor upgrading kernels, but I will do so if I have to.

I’ll first try to get to some happy medium where everything is not too old. I’ve first asked the provider to upgrade it to something more modern and will go from there.
