¡Digital Ocean ha realizado algunos cambios importantes hoy! Consulta la nueva lista de precios.

Primero, la droplet de 1 GB ahora cuesta solo 5 $/mes.

Además, muy buenas noticias para quienes tienen sitios de alto volumen: las ofertas de CPU rápida ahora cuentan con cantidades razonables de espacio SSD.

También hay nuevas “droplets flexibles” que facilitan cambiar entre diferentes configuraciones para ver qué diferencia tiene tener más RAM o más CPUs:

Si tienes una droplet de 1 GB, probablemente querrás apagarla, cambiar a la nueva droplet de 2 GB y volver a ejecutar discourse-setup para aprovechar la memoria adicional.

La downgrade desde la antigua droplet de 1 GB a 10 /mes a la nueva de 5 es más complicada porque hay menos espacio en disco, por lo que no puedes simplemente cambiar. Para hacerlo, un camino seguro sería crear la nueva droplet, copiar tu antiguo app.yml, reconstruir, hacer una copia de seguridad y restaurar tu sitio en la nueva y apuntar al nuevo sitio.

I want to compare it with ramnode

And I’m wondering how different is 1 Core vs 2 Core, while both have 1G RAM?

And Linode is a great idea with the same price while Linode have the location of Japan, Singapore which are great for Asian users; UK,DE for European users, and US for American Users.

While digitalocean only have droplets located in US._Sorry, I get this info from another post, I should check again Well Digitalocean also have multiple locations.

This is not correct they have 10-12 data centers all over the world.

Also Digital Ocean is going to be providing “per-second billing” soon.

I’m not exactly sure about the benefits of this.

This way if you need an instance for a few hours, you are only billed for a few hours rather than a whole day. Or even 15 minutes.

For me the most important feature to come is true private networking. This means for example that if you are running the database in a separate vm the communication goes through a isolated network. Right now in DigitalOcean the internal networking is shared.

No Doubt, I am very happy with this step. DigitalOcean has taken a great step by providing their services in cheaper rates. DO has one of the most affordable infrastructures with good quality of service. It is beneficial for both developers and startups because they can now get a production server in just $5, Even if they don’t know how to manage the servers, They can head to Cloudways, As they have also reduced the pricing on DigitalOcean server.

Exploring the $15 options for a moderately small community (up to 5k people, 500 new messages per day, 500k visits per month), the 2 vCPUs with 2GB RAM option looks better than the others two taking into account the specifics of the Discourse application?

I.e., a) 1GB is too little of memory; b) 3GB RAM vs 2GB RAM won’t make too much of a difference; you’ll have a ~2GB swap; and c) 2 vCPUs is definitely better than 1 vCPUs taking into account multitasking built into Discourse.

Do my arguments look right?

10

2/2 seems like the best choice there.

11

I’m currently using this package from them with Discourse Version v2.0.0.beta2 +72 / 2.0.0.beta2
DOpackage

And experiencing high memory usage with only me on Discourse:
memoryUsageDiscourse

Any advice on troubleshooting this?

Edit: Upgraded to 4GB Memory and added a 2GB swap file. Memory usage is still around 50% though

12

Is there any problem with this high memory usage? :slight_smile:

Free memory is wasted memory – the setup script intentionally tunes Discourse and Postgres to use the available memory to speed up request processing.

Thanks for your reply! I’ll just keep an eye on it

We already knew the lower prices were here, but nice to see it broken out in this way, and you do get a choice at $15/month of 1 more CPUs, or 50% more RAM.

15

DO is really overpriced and not worth it imo, i have an 8 core server, 6GB ram, 185GB HDD and 1Gbps (not full duplex) for just 13.8 USD

16

And where do you get that deal?

17

serverz.pro is the place

20

Hmm. THeir 1GB-$5/month offering isn’t that different from Digital Ocean’s, albeit serverz.pro offers 4 cores. The $15/month plan does look appealing, though, especially for those in Europe.

22

Excepto que ahora todos están aumentando los precios, incluido DO.

24

Barato es relativo. El mínimo de facto costará al menos 18 USD, pero 24 USD es una opción más realista. Ya no estamos en el nivel de 72 USD por año, sino en 216 - 288 por año. Y S3 o similar se suma a eso, fácilmente más de 100 al año.

¿Y si un administrador pobre quiere usar IA? Rápidamente llegamos al nivel de 100 USD al mes; 1200 USD al año.

Estamos en ese punto muy, muy lejos de 5 o 6 dólares al mes :wink:

Pero el punto principal es que, al contrario de lo que dice este tema… ¿qué… hace 5 años, los precios no se están abaratando, sino aumentando.

Así que esa es la razón por la que tantos script kiddie usan Hetzner :rofl:
