Why not get proper dedicated server?
VPS is in principle dedicated, they are bare metal VMs on my host (which I've been with since 2006) - fully managed (which I want - I'm spending all my time on frontend and content), different tiers, takes 10 seconds to set up and relatively inexpensive up to 8GB RAM. If ever the forum gets beyond that I can go fully dedicated - but I don't think I'll ever need that.
This is what I get out of shared hosting per day with 99.750% uptime:
Code: Select all
Successful requests: 172,299
Average successful requests per day: 176,464
Successful requests for pages: 55,212
Average successful requests for pages per day: 56,546
Failed requests: 10,152
Redirected requests: 1,391
Distinct files requested: 13,600
Distinct hosts served: 3,137
Data transferred: 1.76 gigabytes
Average data transferred per day: 1.80 gigabytes
My forum has been behind Cloudflare as a test for 6 months running and it has been awful. Frozen pages, timeout errors - 50GB/month deferred traffic from the server but user experience was terrible. As soon as I turn it off it's better - immediately. So no CF for me thanks
