ProSkill Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Has anyone tried running IPB using a remote DB? My plan is to purchase a VPS just for the DB but I'd like to get some feedback prior to pulling the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevengeFNF Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 If you buy another vps on the same datacenter with the same network, its ok. Otherwise you will add latency and your site will probably end up being slower., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProSkill Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Update in case anyone is considering doing this. I would stay away from Amazon RDS it is insanely expensive especially for high traffic sites. What I did do was spin up a VPS with the same host that the forum is hosted and installed the database on that, it's working great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
