Digital Ocean a apporté aujourd’hui de grands changements ! Consultez la nouvelle liste des prix.

Premièrement, le droplet de 1 Go n’est plus que de 5 $/mois !

De plus, une très bonne nouvelle pour les sites à fort volume : les offres CPU rapides disposent désormais de quantités raisonnables d’espace SSD.

Sont également nouveaux les « droplets flexibles » qui facilitent la commutation entre différentes configurations pour voir l’impact d’avoir plus de RAM ou plus de CPU :

Si vous avez un droplet de 1 Go, vous voudrez probablement l’arrêter, passer au nouveau droplet de 2 Go, puis exécuter à nouveau discourse-setup pour profiter de la mémoire supplémentaire.

Le passage du vieux droplet de 1 Go à 10 /mois au nouveau à 5 est plus complexe car l’espace disque est réduit, vous ne pouvez donc pas simplement changer. Pour cela, une voie sûre consisterait à créer le nouveau droplet, copier votre ancien app.yml, reconstruire, sauvegarder et restaurer votre site sur le nouveau, puis pointer vers le nouveau site.

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.

7

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.

8

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.

13

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

Sauf que tout le monde augmente maintenant ses prix, y compris DO.

24

Le terme « bon marché » est relatif. La gouttelette de données minimale de facto coûtera au moins 18 USD, mais 24 USD est un choix plus réaliste. Nous ne sommes plus au niveau de 72 USD par an, mais entre 216 et 288 USD par an. Et le S3 ou similaire s’ajoute à cela, facilement plus de 100 USD par an.

Et si un administrateur fauché veut utiliser l’IA ? Nous atteignons rapidement le niveau de 100 USD par mois ; 1200 USD par an.

Nous sommes à ce stade vraiment très, très loin des 5 ou 6 dollars par mois :wink:

Mais le point principal est que, contrairement à ce que ce sujet disait… il y a 5 ans, les prix ne baissent pas, mais augmentent.

C’est donc la raison pour laquelle tant de script kiddies utilisent Hetzner :rofl:
