Private internet access used to provide hosting and some time before that MtGox handled hosting.

I am not sure why handles hosting nowadays, however the forum is using a reverse proxy and afaik you cannot connect to the forum directly.

According to this source (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1666044.msg16728399#msg16728399), the forum is hosted using AWS or a similar Amazon service.

All that tells you is that the domain is registered at (I assume) Namecheap. It tells you nothing about the hosting of the site.

You are wrong. Stop confusing people.

The AWS instance is the reverse proxy.

By using the words 'According to this source' I was showing that I was going off the best information we have currently. I wasn't implying that it is fact.
Work on your comprehension.

I just want to ask and sorry if this question is not expected in this thread.

Does that mean Expiration Date: 2023-06-24 this forum bitcointalk.org will end in 6 years left?
Whether the expiry date can still be extended again?

I just want to know with the future of this forum. Thanks :)

No, it doesn't mean that the forum will end. The domain was likely renewed for 10 years in 2013, meaning that those 10 years will have passed in 2023. The domain can be renewed again after this expiration date is passed.
