Small forum / big forum what metrics do i need to check in vbullettin to understand if getting 1 or 2 mb droplet (digitalocean)? probably it’s a small forum, but just to play safe! (if possible i would try to install also a small TS server on it) It’s a test so was planning to use a temporary domain! will il be easier to change domain at a second time? Also can i change later the email server? Do i first run the import script from the old forum or i first install the plugins i need? Is the DigitalOcean discourse one click application the preferred install method? Ty in advance for your replies I checked the forum for some answer but all the documentation is overwhelming?

[תמונה] zogstrip: Size of the database doesn’t matter that much. What matters is how active your forum is. As a rule of thumb you want the database to fit in ram. If you have hundreds of thousands of posts, you might need more ram. If you’re installing many plugins, I recommend going with 2gb of ram.
