Hello Phil, you need to setup a SaaS on a Windows VPS with payment provider integration (Paypal IPN, other).
There must be a running HTTP service on the VPS that handles translation of the user input that comes from the browser and maps it to your Windows app.
If it is a remote terminal emulator you're after, I can see a service based on something like Xtermjs (http://xtermjs.org).
If it is forwarding input to the GUI of your Visual Basic 6 app, then any front-end framework that matches the input fields you have can do (Foundation, SemanticUI, other).
If you want pixel-by-pixel mirroring of the VB6 program to the web client, that's harder to do yet possible. You don't want VNC, you want to redirect/buffer a single Window instance per paying customer into the authorized web browser.
This is not a trivial project. Since it is more on the commercial/enterprise side, you may want to negotiate with an "old timer" full-stack developer that understands both modern front-end and traditional back-end. Ideally, someone with experience since the DOS/VB6 era who's also active with modern technologies.
Good news: I fit the bill & suit the skills! :up:

Hmm, could you put this in
simple english for an old guy, please?
Your offer sounds good to me. More on my idea. 2 Apps are free for anyone to use; the other 3 would be charged after say
one week of free usage. If either of 3 is charged, then
ALL may be used under the umbrella.
The monthly charge/fee should be $30 as of today.
A terminal running 24/7, how is this done?
Phil
