Je souhaite acheter un VPS pour Discourse et j’ai deux options à choisir. Un serveur avec 2 Go de RAM, 2 cœurs et 25 Go de stockage, et un serveur avec 2 Go de RAM, 1 cœur et 20 Go de stockage, pour seulement un dollar de plus. Ma question est la suivante : vaut-il la peine de payer pour le cœur supplémentaire ? Ce forum sera la seule chose en cours d’exécution – peut-être un site web séparé plus tard sur un serveur Ubuntu. Je rassemble simplement des idées pour prendre la bonne décision.
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.
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.
