Soulwatcher Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I didn't have any problems with A2hosting, matter of fact I think they are a great web host. And I am using them for the email on this cat website and my blog. Now to the good part, I bought a used Microsoft-certified refurbished HP Office computer with an I5 6500 4 core 3.2 GHZ 16 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB SSD. Which is faster than a VPS and more resources than a VPS with a shared CPU and is more than enough for this website for a long time. It's been up and running since Thursday, and this website and my blog are not even making a dent in the CPU. Even with running a cron job every minute for the forum. Which you can't do on shared hosting. P.S. I checked, Digital Ocean is $218 a month for a VPS with 4 full-core CPUs, 16 GB of RAM, and 100 GB of hard drive space. Which is more than what I paid for my HP office computer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpvr Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Awesome! Congratulations on the upgrade to a dedicated server. Cutting down costs and spending less monthly on a server bill is always nice. I’m glad to hear that there’s more than enough capacity for future growth! Edited April 14 by Cpvr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could run my own mail server, but I chose to get a professional hosted email. Because my personal email on my blog is for my bills and I do not want to miss a bill, well maybe lol, JK. 🤣 P.S. my total cost for the dedicated server every month is $7.50. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fords8 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 That is pretty good for a dedi server. 7.50 a month is real good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and it is faster than the shared host that I was on. But to be fair I wasn't on their Turbo plan which is supposed to be really fast. But it is $30 a month.
