Estoy buscando comprar un VPS para Discourse y tengo dos opciones entre las que elegir. Un servidor de 2 GB y 2 núcleos con 25 GB de almacenamiento, y un servidor de 2 GB y 1 núcleo con 20 GB de almacenamiento, solo un dólar más caro. La pregunta es: ¿valdría la pena pagar por el núcleo extra? Este foro será lo único que se ejecute, quizás más adelante un sitio web separado en un servidor Ubuntu. Solo estoy recopilando ideas para tomar la decisión correcta.
Gracias.
If you’re just starting 1GB RAM and 1 core is fine, but a 20GB harddrive is on the small side. You will often not be able to do the one-click upgrades as you’ll have to frequently log in via ssh to do a cleanup action before upgrading. Unless you know that you will definitely have a lot of traffic I’d recommend (as the Discourse guides do) Linode or Digital Ocean’s 5USD/month 1GB RAM, 1vCPU, 25GB SSD options.
Even 25gb is a little tight.
I am familiar with setting up Discourse and I am not expecting much traffic at all. I am aware of DigitalOcean’s plan but the package I am looking at is cheaper with more resources going through OVH which I trust more than DigitalOcean
Well if you don’t expect much traffic either option will be acceptable. If it’s only a $1/month more it’s probably quite a good deal. And you can upgrade later if traffic demands it. So that’s another consideration - make sure your provider’s upgrade paths are reliable and smooth.
What are you really asking? How much disk space is needed?
No, I am asking if the extra core is worth it.
More memory or disk space is usually a better trade off assuming the core is fast and modern.
