Hey everyone, im looking into installing Discourse through a GoDaddy hosting: https://www.godaddy.com/pro/one-click-installation/discourse?countryview=1 I already have GoDaddy’s service hired for email and Webflow webpage hosting and wanted an expert and user opinion on implementing this install. …

I would avoid GoDaddy for hosting, they cannot even seem to provide a proper wordpress platform to their users as they took wordpress and fiddled with it to fit within their messy system, go read their user communities. I am a long time GD customer but only for domain name purchases and nothing else…

The fact that they recommend 1GB and even offer 512MB memory plans says enough :slight_smile:

For Amazon I just used a Ubuntu (16.04) AMI and followed the install cloud instructions. Works fine for testing with a free tier, I ended up going to more ram and increased the disk space, but the sandbox install I am working with is 1.8 Million posts, and 40K user accounts.

The new Amazon LightSail also works with Discourse, I tested myself. The price is bad, you get more performance from a same price Digital Ocean droplet, but it does work.

I don’t even think you can install it because their VPS is cPanel based, which means that they probably don’t support Discourse’s required technologies.
