Estou procurando comprar um VPS para o Discourse e tenho duas opções para escolher. Um servidor de 2GB com 2 núcleos e 25GB de armazenamento, e um servidor de 2GB com 1 núcleo e 20GB de armazenamento por apenas um dólar a mais. A pergunta é: vale a pena pagar pelo núcleo extra? Este fórum será a única coisa em execução — talvez um site separado no futuro no servidor Ubuntu. Estou apenas reunindo ideias para tomar a decisão certa.
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.
