| Re: [PLUG] VPS Recommendation |
There are lots of tricks for lots of RAM, that I could research. [For upgrading my home server a 60GB SATAIIISSD is about $60, vs about $100 for 16GB of RAM], I expect a 10gb slice of SSD to be much cheaper than 10gb of extra ram. The organization I manage this server for also has a very constrained budget, and won't be willing to pay a lot so long as I can host it for "free". $20 a month for a VPS + $10 for some SSD storage rental might well fly because they'd be getting both performance and stability for the extra money.

I am not a database expert by any stretch but isn't there an optimization option that could make better use of system memory rather than depend on fast back-end storage? In particular depending on how the data is accessed could you cache, say, in 2-3gb of RAM and those use a 4gb VPS or similar? That may still not be reasonably priced with Linode but at least it's a less specialized hosting service and you could shop it around a little more. -morgan On May 11, 2012, at 11:46 AM, brainbuz@brainbuz.orgwrote:I love Linode, but there is one thing I want that they don't offer: SSD backed storage. I have an 8GB postgres database used for lookups only. For performance this database should be on a tablespace on an SSD. Any recommendations (other than continuing to host a production server at my house with consumer fios) for an alternative? ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
