mikaweb™ Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hi Everyone, My shared hosting company asked me to move out since I use too many resources on their server. My idea is to use Linode (Linode 2GB) since it is a reliable company with a good network / location for my visitors. The forum is the bottleneck based on my hosting company and we did what we could to optimize the forum as much as possible (no +/- 1, not displaying visitors in topics, etc...). I plan on using Nginx with PHP-FPM and MySQL 5.6 (or MariaDB) instead of the current Apache 2.2, old hard drive, MySQL 5.5. Our database is not so large, 800k messages, 1.5GB large with 100-150 users at the same time browsing through with peak at around 500-600 from time to time. Would Linode 2GB plan be sufficient? Should we directly move to something larger? I do have someone to manage the server so it will not be an issue to not have any control panel (free ressources) or even a dedicated server. Thanks !

Aiwa Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 2G should be fine for those specs... I'd suggest an SSD if given the option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaweb™ Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hi, Thanks for your answer. Yes, they provide SSD on all their plans. Anyway, I will try with this plan N°2 and upgrade if necessary, otherwise, for the same price, I can have a dedicated server at OVH or Online in France which is my target public. I hope to receive feedback from people hosted there, I'm sure there is a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have more or less 200/300 people at the same time with peaks of 1000. For 9,83€ per month, its perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
