I’m currently looking for a Discourse host, and it looks like Reclaim Hosting is the cheapest out there at $10/month. I also like how they’re actively promoting educational technology projects.
@downey Sandstorm.io - I wonder if your “app” stops once it has eaten through your cpu allotment for the month:
Those who sign up for the “standard” plan (currently slated for $6 /
month) will receive 200CU per month. That equates to 1000-2000 hours of
using a typical app, which is more time than a month actually has! We
expect that most users will never come anywhere near hitting their CU
quota.
But what happens if you do hit your quota? We said your CU is like a
battery, but it’s like a battery that is always charging. When you first
create your account, your CU battery starts out full. When it is not
full, it recharges at a rate such that over the course of a month it
will recharge equal to your monthly limit. So if you run out of CU, go
take a walk, and when you get back you’ll have some more.
