Hi @Matt - I will tell you my story on where I am and where I would like to be with my Xenforo community and perhaps you can help.
I have an Xenforo site that sees about 20-30 visitors at a time throughout the day at one time. My host is Hostgator and I pay about 10 a month. I really never had any major issues with them except the speed of my site- most of the time, not always.
Due to my file size - or inodes I have exceeded the quota and over the limit of 100,00 files (about 136,000) and therefore have to pay a company through Hostgator (Codeguard) for daily back ups. It runs me about 100 a year. But needed. I also use about 30-40 gigs of bandwidth a month.
Here is what I am looking for.
Speed- I want to be in the range of 20 bucks a month. I see Digital Ocean has a 20 dollar a month plan. Will this do what I am looking for - speed, performance?
I need a back up option that is simple.
I am not an expert on server maintenance and set up. I rarely even use my Cpanel now but to view folders and files and download my database for back ups- that's it.
I like simple.
Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom
