Definitive hosting guide?

There should not be a big latency issue, for me the servers have not died at any given time unless i killed it.

I do recommend picking a server in the USA in your case though!

BAANAN Sounds great, I'll get back to you in the new few days! Thanks again.

No need to thank me! 😀

trever-s I switched from a VPS to Namecheap's Stellar Plus shared plus plan and I haven't really experienced any performance issues. In fact, they give you Composer v2 out of the box once you enable SSH in your cPanel 🙂 It was a pretty easy setup and all I really had to do extra was follow the Customizing Paths portion of the Flarum docs to get the final pieces together. The bonus of having shared hosting is that I don't have to set up a mail server or even purchase a mail service at that 😂 I never had an issue with Namecheap support either and for the record, I'm not affiliated with them in any way; I'm just simply lazy 😄

Ralkage Thanks Ralkage! This seems like more my speed and skill set. I assume the approach @BAANAN is suggesting will require quite a bit more work?

trever-s I've never used Contabo before 🙂 my experience is with NameCheap and eons ago I used HostGator before they were acquired by another company and my experience kinda went downhill from there with them 🙃

If you need Flarum setup assitance with NameCheap, please feel to reach out to me via Discord at any time! (Ralkage#3067). I'll most likely create a guide on how to setup Flarum on NameCheap some time in the future and possibly work on something crowd-sourced to share with the community 😃
