Hey, that looks like OVH’s VPS SSD, the cheapest option, right? In terms of CPU performance those are nifty little servers, but the 10GB storage will not take you far.

If you do not have a lot of concurrent users and your budget is a dime, then ScaleWay’s VPS is a perfectly usable option. It comes with 2 slow CPU cores, 2GB RAM and a nice 50GB storage. The staff here complains that they are slow, but in real life it runs OK (depending on traffic, of course).

I asked the additional volumes question here earlier, but did not a get a reply. That remains as an interesting question, even though I now have a beefy 200GB SSD on my new box.

> For most VPS providers I’ve seen, if you need more storage space you either: Upgrade your whole VPS plan. Buy additional storage volumes. Now if you are running out of disk space, but your CPU/RAM resources are plenty, the additional storage volumes are likely the more cost efficient option. But these appear as a new volume on your server, while Discourse keeps running on the original volume where you installed it in the first place. I could not find a guide or documentation on best practice…
