Where Are You Running Nextcloud

If you run the smallest Vultr plans, you are memory starved (this is the $2.50 plan) and can't really use tools like memory caches to speed things up. When you get to the $5 plan, under normal load, you can start to cache disk reads and you can add some memory caching. By the $10 plan you have lots of memory to spin up more web server worker threads for lower latency, and loads of memory for things like memcached and Varnish which will do a lot to really speed things up. You might even get Redis to make sense in that envelope.

@scottalanmiller Who do you use for the generic "shared web hosting" function? I still want the "free" unlimited mailboxes/subdomains etc

At which location, do you mean historically with ASO? Then yes. But we never, ever use email from a web host no matter what we want. Having low cost mail is fine, but we never get it that way. It's a dangerous pairing.

What is the value to unlimited mailboxes that you get with any mail forwarding service? And why would you want to use someone else's domain when you have a choice?

I use my own domains.
I like to have generic emails for different functions, like, [email protected] or [email protected]
I'd prefer to not have to pay for those. -

I'd prefer to not have to pay for those.So, no mail forwarding service like sendmail available anywhere?

I'd prefer to not have to pay for those.We don't pay for them anywhere, we just use aliases which are free on every system I know.

Damn, I just remembered (thx for the memory jog) you can totally do this with Ofc 365

Yup, so will Rackspace, Amazon, G Suite, Zimbra or anything else

If I were you, I'd just spin up another cheap server and install email software. The equivalent of how cPanel handles email would be something like CentOS Web Panel or Vesta or even Webmin. Or go hard core and set it all up manually, install Postfix and a webmail client and spamassasin and antivirus and all the other tools needed to do email. -

Still free, and Postfix under the hood. But no need to go lean, you could have an enterprise email platform once doing that. I'm not recommending Zimbra over Office 365 or G Suite or anything like that, just compared to a bare bones system.

Forgot all about Zimbra.
I tried to set it up a couple years ago, failed miserably.

I have a guide that makes it quick and easy.

Wait, wasn't there a thread a few months back saying NOT to move web hosting off of wen hosting places like A2 and ASO?

Well both of those proved to be rather problematic as of late. Like this week.

Vultr and XS VM at home.

Remember that this thread was focused on NextCloud and at least A2 doesn't allow that to be installed (even though THEY provide an installer for it!!)

Yes, but with quotes like ... "who is even hosting anymore" makes me wonder if it all shouldn't be moved over...
