    Have been running on a great VPS for a number of years out of Sydney Australia however had a hardware fault and ever since my server has been in constant flux and consuming a lot of CPU

    Finally last night I was moved to new hardware and couldnt raise the site so bumped myself over onto a temporary host on digitalocean however the cpu optimized base package of digitalocean has been running amazingly for me for the past 24 hours though my peak times are on Saturday.

    I have decided that staying with my current VPS provider probably isnt going to be long term viable or wise, so I need to find a new place. Digitalocean seems to have great optimized servers but being in Singapore with my main audience sitting in Sydney seems a bit of an issue for me.

    My server runs one site which is a xenforo site with a database of about 1 - 2Gb.

    We have about 1.1m posts and aBOUT 50K threads.

    We are an active site but not out of control, really need some guidance here as no amount of tuning seems to make the old host work and perhaps the base diitalocean is enough but if anyone has some worthy thoughts on where I could move I would be appreciative

    • For US hosting, Los Angeles or US West is best if you have an Australian audience.
    • For Australian hosting, check out ramsomit.com.au I have tried their Melbourne and Sydney VPSes for a few years - with current Melbourne VPS in use & moved to their new server hardware with Intel Xeon Scalable Skylake cpu based KVM VPSes. With 2 cpu, 1GB ram and 20GB disk and 600GB/month bandwidth. They also have Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide based as well as Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo VPSes too.

    Disclaimer though, ramsomit folks have been providing me with a free VPS for a few years for my Centmin Mod cluster/testing while I did pay for the other VPS.

    Awesome, I am going to keep on digitalocean for a week or so to see its stability Singapore is acceptable at this point as the last 3 weeks have been constant downtime.

    Looks like the $50 a month 4gb RAM and 4 CPU's seems like it is good value so will move to that soon too

    Thanks for your help
