Hey, I’m in the process of planning to move a well settled forum to discourse and am thinking about the hosting. I do use Hetzner VPSs a lot and am quite happy with it but didn’t yet run a larger discourse. I wonder if it’s worth thinking about splitting services into multiple VPSs or go with a bi…

On Blender Artists we have about 4.2M posts and 250k pageviews per day. When we migrated to Discourse 1.5 years ago we started on a medium-sized VPS on Digital Ocean, but that didn’t cut it at all. We have since moved to a dedicated server we got at the Hetzner server auction (E5-1650V2 Xeon with 64…

I’m not a big fan of going dedicated with such projects. Especially with Hetzner server auction servers. Depending on the age of the server type they might not have replacement parts if something fails. I’ve had this in the past and enjoy running most of my projects on VPS nowadays. Way less downtim…

I’m pulling this up again as we’re slowly getting into moving the thing to discourse. Currently trialing the migration process. Maybe someone has additional insights / experiences in that forum size category? I was reading @sam posting about splitting the DB off to another machine, I wonder if it’s …

You haven’t really given us enough to go on here. How big are your longest topics? Do you plan to support megatopics in the future (>10k posts) - it’s stuff like that which will obliterate server performance before anything else.

Well there are a few that are in the ballpark of 5k-15k posts and they are growing but there really are a few only. But interesting to hear that this is a pain point in server performance. It’s definitely an option to think about those topics and maybe close some and open a category instead to have …

Take a look at: [صورة] The MEGATOPIC: public good, or public menace? community When we founded Discourse in 2013, I had the idea that we’d support topics of any length or size, from 10 replies to 100 to 10,000 to 100,000 or even more! [image] A few years ago we ran int…

I’m interested in this too. I’m writing a grant proposal that will include a forum that could have up to 7,500 users, though I have no idea how active they’d be. I obviously need to make a guess at how much hosting for that would be, but have less than no clue, so I would be very grateful if folks c…

If the budget allows it, you could say you’re going to spend $300/month for business hosting . There are plenty of ways that you could actually solve the problem for less than that if you get the grant.

Yes, I can certainly use a ballpark figure… the question I couldn’t answer was how big is the ballpark? :wink: Using the Discourse business hosting would be a very good move.

@pfaffman ’s suggestion is very good if you don’t have any idea what your relevant statistics are likely to be. I’m somewhat mystified why you are asking for others to invest some time when you don’t even know what ballpark you’re playing in. Ballpark means: an area or range within which an amoun…
