Hey all,
I'm planning on moving a small (I guess maybe it'd be considered medium) forum from shared hosting to a VPS, and I'm wondering what people think would be the better option: a 256MB VPS running nginx and PHP-FPM but with offloaded MySQL, or a 512MB VPS with everything local.
The former would probably be a bit cheaper, but I'm not overly concerned with the price difference -- I'm more wondering which people think would be a better choice overall and which would be likely to better handle any traffic spikes.
Thanks!
