Any suggestions for a good vps provider to host discourse? Any feedback for Liniode vs Digital ocean? Digital Ocean’s $20 plan seems to be good. It has 2GB RAM and 2 cores. Not sure if 2GB RAM is sufficient though? Please advice.

Many of the ones you listed, I don’t view as reputable. Linode in particular has massive red flags from every skilled security person I know, who flat out say “never use Linode, I can’t say why in public, but don’t.”

I’ve been using Vultr for nearly a year, granted it is only a sandbox running Discourse, thus no traffic, no real users, but it gets the job done and hasn’t had any issues what-so-ever (apart from running low on disk space from time to time).
