yeah. yesterday evening something was terrible wrong with the server load with no clear reason. today has been reasonably fine. but not as smooth as i would like it to be. maybe it's time to get on the next droplet size to get that extra 1GB RAM

It's on DigitalOcean Singapore with CloudFlare in front. No fancy hosting solution for this lol.

I am getting 85ms on Excitel which is pretty normal for Singapore I imagine. Based on above conversation Tata routing is messed up for DO Singapore hosted domains I guess.

singapore is fast enough. bangalore does not have spaces storage. not that i am using this at the moment. and it is also temporarily disabled in singapore so that's a shame.

Lagged for a while yesterday, has been fine today. I mean, the site loads just fine.

@Sushubh

Why not go for something like this? It's out of stock right now but I have tried it out for a month, its not too bad (for torrenting not forum hosting though)

DO Droplets cost a fraction of these dedicated servers. I think those are perfect for running these types of forums

Is this monthly or one time ?

 

[JB701]

cheapest one (OneProvider link I mentioned earlier) is 2 Atom Cores (4 threads), 4GB RAM.128GB SSD for 8 dollars a month (out of stock rn but it comes back occasionally). also has discounts on long term payments.

Similar droplets on DO are:

Memory	vCPUs	Transfer	SSD Disk	$/HR	$/MO
1GB	1vCPU	1TB	25GB	$0.007	$5
2GB	1vCPU	2TB	50GB	$0.015	$10

Routing to India may not be as good as DO but if CloudFlare is sitting in between i dont think itll be much of a problem as EU datacenters have amazing peering with CF.

Truly thrifty cloud hosting - Hetzner Online GmbH is also a good option with competitive pricing.

@JB701 I am now on Limras Eronet, it peers directly with Cloudflare on Extreme-IX mumbai.

Today the site is responsive as normal.

BSNL International routing is not very good . I currently get 200 ms to Cloudflare version of this website . Wonder what I will get if this gets shifted to Netherlands . It takes 40-50 ms to get out of BSNL Internal servers and go to the peering point . The routing is 100 times more better on my Airtel 4G
