The render install is supported by their team, which you can reach at

> @justin Render will continue to provide full support for this install method. Users can email [support@render.com](mailto:support@render.com) or post in our Discourse community at [https://community.render.com](https://community.render.com). @Falco the price can technically be lower if you select smaller plans for the individual components, but we’ve found that the suggested setup is the lowest price for a production-ready, hassle-free Discourse experience.
