    Sorry for spamming. Got any insight into what specs I could manage with? I’m thinking, if I only want to mirror and/or aggregate some magnet links sites, I could make do with the bare minimum, right? Like a single core, two gig RAM setup + however much space a webserver serving text files would need? Ah, but then there would be considerable lag because of scheduling whenever more than one person tried to navigate the site? 🤔

      I think that should be enough. Maybe try two vCPUs if you wanna host other stuff too. But for just for some mirrors/aggregators, one vCPU is probably enough. I don’t think you really need to worry about RAM or storage either.

      Computers are plenty fast these days. I think you’ll only start to see actual performance issues when handling hundreds of simultaneous users.

      In any case, you shouldn’t be spending over $10/month. You can get much lower. Take a look at this. I don’t know how reliable or secure they are, but they’re very cheap. I’ve used their VPS in the past, and it seemed pretty okay.

        Thanks for all the great advice! :) I’m reading Kyun’s pages for now, then I’ll check out this other one.
