What's the best place/optimal specs for hosting a flarum

Hi, I recently hosted a flarum on freeflarum.com and find the open source flarum really attractive. However, I find that some user interactions via freeflarum.com is not that satisfying such as clicking the profile from list of likes/views under a post (which will always lead to a perpetual buffering page).

So I'm wondering what's the best server I could find to host a flarum with about 1000 users and about 50 active users at the same time? Sharing specs of the server is also welcome! 😀

lichengkun135 this community has ran on a simple 1 GB memory, 1 vCPU for quite a while. I suggest at least 2 vCPU and 2 GB memory for communities that have to cope with sudden surges. Another thing to help improve the perceived performance is running a queue, the simplest of these is running one through a cron using the database queue driver: https://extiverse.com/extension/blomstra/database-queue

PS 1000 users and 50 active ones (unless all of them posting at the same time), is nothing to worry about and can be easily hosted on a shared hosting environment as well.
