Hetzner has now Ampere ARM64 VPS. Discourse is compatible with this architecture. The plans they propose make them cheaper than their regular Intel x86, especially in the lower plans. ARM64 [image] x86 [image] I’m considering moving my Discourse forum from CPX31 to CAX31.

Hetzner seems incredibly cheap compared to competitors, including Scaleway. Do any competitors get even close to giving you 8 CPU/16GB/240GB for 30 Euros?!? Any downsides?

I have been happy with DigitalOcean, but it’s a bit pricey for a non-commercial forum. I recen…

@merefield Yes it is, but it’s possible. It’s what I had on the $6/month DigitalOcean droplet for years. I occasionally had to remove old logs and images in order to upgrade which was inconvenient. The $25/year Linveo plan that I’m on has 50GB NVMe disk, which is the same as the $12/month droplet.
