What Is This Forum Hosted On?

vPS or dedicated server?
and which hosting provider?

It used to be a Hetzner Cloud instance if I recall correctly, I’m not sure whether we’ve moved since @Jarland.

Overkill maybe? :flushed:

Perhaps a bit :wink:

Does discourse need that much power and ram?
I think LES is running on a 2gb vps.

It doesn’t, but Hetzner auction servers are so cheap anyway.

Why use a low memory server when you can buy tons of unnecessary RAM?

Have you given the auction server that you’re using a cool name, @Jarland? I would imagine you using a quirky cultural reference like “Eagle 5” or something like that. (Maybe it’s just me, but I like to name machines that I use. I named my first car “Patsy” afte the “horse” in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.) --Katie

I just name everything “Taylor Swift” so it starts to get confusing after a while

Am surprised Mxroute doesn’t have a Taylor or Swift named server yet.

Surprised all tech support isn’t done as TSwift :stuck_out_tongue:
