I have asked a question earlier today about how to have multiple instances in a single server and what are the ideal configurations I need for the new server. > [@Multiple discourse instances in a single server](https://meta.discourse.org/t/multiple-discourse-instances-in-a-single-server/88723/5): > > To determine that would depend on various factors. Have you considered profiling your current sites to determine potential bottlenecks? If downtime is your concern perhaps you could get a VPS with more than you need then scale back once everything is running smoothly. In my experience EC2 containers can get pricy rather quickly. After hours of researching I have decided to use the dedicated server I already have in FastComet. The reason behind this decision is simply it has got a E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz + 16gb of ram where I have installed few WordPress sites and it’s barely breaking a sweat. My server is managed so I can have FastComet guys install the packages I want. What are the possibility to run discourse instances in this server? Is it possible to install docker containers on a optimized server for WordPress with nginx without having issues in the future? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-discourse-alongside-wordpress-in-a-dedicated-server/88739)._
