Best choice of dedicated server

Django85

Hello sir @Saurabh and all's

Can share best dedicated server provider name is I want to upgrade from my shared hosting to dedicated server?

Saurabh

Django85 DigitalOcean is the best option that I have found so far.

Best in server availability, support, and community.
Speed is mindblowing even on the cheapest droplet (But any droplet you go with, always opt for Premium Intel
with NVMe SSD)

When I browser my files on the server using SSH, it feels like I am browsing my local system files, yes it's that fast (if your server droplet region is near your region)

P.S Our Foodomaa forum (yes this forum) is also hosted on DigitalOcean.

If you wish to go with DigitalOcean, you can support Foodomaa by signing up with our affiliate link:

Foodomaa + VestaCP + DigitalOcean + CloudFlare = SuperSpeed

Saurabh wow, sounds good, sorry for asking this noob question:

is that digital ocean has cpanel?
is that installation in digital ocean same as shown in foodoma documentation (using cpanel way) ?
as i want migrate from my shared hosting cpanel, can i just upload there, import existing sql and edit .env to 'install-true'? is that this way is correct or missing any steps?

if all answered cleared, i will use your affiliate link, hehe

tq again

Hi, @Saurabh can you give the best tutorial to follow on how to set up a Digital Ocean server?

No digital ocean doesn't have a cPanel.
It will give you an option to select an OS (Ubuntu) and SSH access so that you can install anything over it.
That's the reason I mentioned VestaCP. It's a free cPanel that you can install on VPS.
(Foodomaa works fine if VestaCP is installed successfully)
Once you configure your VPS and install a cPanel like Vesta, the other process is the same.
Dump DB, Create backup zip of the code, migrate the code and import the DB, change env file DB credentials.
(And of course, reset license prior to migration)

surya90 Look into General Purpose ($60/m and $120/m plan) according to how many resources you use.
Anyone else reading this, I recommended General Purpose plans for @surya90 because his data and traffic are heavy.
For anyone starting with Foodomaa, can go with Basic Premium Intel with SSD droplet for $6/m and gradually scale to $12, $18, and so on.

If you get about 1k orders per month $6/m droplet is fine 🙂

Yes like said above i have used NVM SSD its awesome. If you are new to VPS then i will recommend you to use Cyberpanel. its easy like Cpanel
you have used in shared hosting.

Saurabh Hello, as I want to transfer my server, you mentioned (And of course, reset license prior to migration) I want to know if I can request a license reset even if my support is already expired?

surya90

sir @Saurabh is there any specific version of vesta cp and ubuntu that best suit or just use latest version will do?

Saurabh

surya90 Ubuntu 18 and the latest version of VestaCP (vesta doesn't support Ubuntu 20)

Edit: As of Oct 18, 2021, VestaCP supports Ubuntu 20 as well.

I use hestiacp. On digital ocean

Django85

LioniEspumoni How is your experience? Can share to us?

LioniEspumoni

There are two options hestiacp or myvestacp this support Ubuntu 20.04. is use hestiacp it have the option of multiple php version from 5.6 to 8. You can choose on different hosting account. Vestacp have many errors. Hestiacp always have updates.
Other people is using myvestacp, really is the same like hestiacp but have more tools. Vestacp and myvestacp is not the same. Vestacp is not receiving any updates. You must read about all an take a desission. I think hestiacp is much better. Django85

Django85

LioniEspumoni tq, what is difference using Ubuntu 18.0 and v20.0?

Improve on what aspects for our site?

LioniEspumoni

Django85 Ubuntu 20.04 is more faster and is the minimum requirements for hestiacp and myvestacp. I'm working with it and dont have any fails. You can try both. Digital ocean is good. You can create and distroy droplets easy. The next step is install ioncube. It is not include on any control panel installation. Go to https://hestiacp.com/ or https://www.myvestacp.com/
