Best hosting for 97 Server

Can u suggest best hosting for oldschool server 97p,r ut.c? Cant find hosting with windows server 2003.

As a personal advice: just don't. Windows 2003 has been out of support for years and has big vulnerabilities. Do not use an outdated windows machine exposed on the internet. It's just asking for trouble.

If you're gonna use the server to play with your friends (as you've said in other thread) then use your own PC. Nothing to invest beside time. Also you don't need Windows Server.
If you're asking this to create a real private server for public, you'll need a VPS with Windows Server, at least WS 2012.

There's plenty of hosting nowadays that offer very cheap costs, just remember to always read the terms of services and see if they allow game servers or not, also- use Windows Server 2008 if you're uncomfortable with newer versions, but really you'll be amazed at the newer versions once you transition. (or not.)

Also hamachi is still a thing if you wanna just invite friends.

2008 is also out of support, it's not getting any security update. If the server is exposed on the internet he should go for 201r2 onwards.
