I work at [Render](https://render.com), a modern cloud provider. We just released a really quick and straightforward way to self-host Discourse:
> **[Docs + Quickstarts | Render](https://render.com/docs)**
>
> Run your code in just a few clicks with Render. You decide what's possible, and we'll help bring it to life.
Advantages over the current [official install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true) guide:
- Install Discourse in under 5 minutes
- Fully managed and free SSL + custom domain management
- No SSH needed
- Fully configurable self-hosted option
- Built to scale!
If you end up trying it out, we’d love to hear about your experience and how we can make things even easier/faster. 🙏

Awesome! Thanks for contributing to the ecosystem!
A point of awareness – since Discourse doesn’t own that install pipeline, support for this mode of installing Discourse will need to come your way, as we’re only able to support sites following the [official install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true) guide on Meta at this time.

That’s a pretty cool offering. What is the pricing for the single click install @anurag ? From what I can see it’s ($20 + $7 + $1 + $0.5 + $25), so $53.5 per month?

@justin Render will continue to provide full support for this install method. Users can email [support@render.com](mailto:support@render.com) or post in our Discourse community at [https://community.render.com](https://community.render.com).
@Falco the price can technically be lower if you select smaller plans for the individual components, but we’ve found that the suggested setup is the lowest price for a production-ready, hassle-free Discourse experience.

Last January I reached out to Render Support to ask about the pricing for this 1-click install, and here’s what I was told:
> In our 1-click install example, this spins up a database on the Starter plan and a Discourse service on the Starter Plus plan. You can see this listed in the [render.yaml](https://github.com/render-examples/discourse/blob/master/render.yaml)for the repo. We do start the service at Starter Plus as Discourse is a bit more resource hungry compared to some other apps.
>
> Services on the Starter Plus plan are $15/month: [Pricing | Render](https://render.com/pricing/#services)
> Databases on the Starter plan are $7/month: [Pricing | Render](https://render.com/pricing/#databases)
>
> So using the 1-click template, you could expect to pay $22/month. Note that our billing is prorated to the second, so you’ll only pay for the time that the resources are actually hosted.
…
> I also noticed that the template includes a 12GB Disk. Disks are charged at $0.25/GB per month so this would increase the total by another $3/month.
Is this all correct? I’d be super interested to use Render, but would be great to know more clearly what I can expect to be paying when I launch the blueprint

The link doesn’t work anymore… Is it still available?
