I’ve recently switched from GoDaddy domain management to Namecheap, I switched for a lot of reasons and I’m looking to swap my hosting to Namecheap too and I saw that with the package that I am looking at (Ultimate) they are offering Ruby.

Would I be able to use Discourse with the hosting that they provide?

Not unless they offer a cloud hosting service that supports Docker.

You’d want their VPS 1 plan or higher: [https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/vps.aspx](https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/vps.aspx)

The Digital Ocean offer is cheaper though at $10/month. Other good providers out there too.
