| − | + | We are currently hosting with [https://www.linode.com/pricing?r=30335eb136f2c5f7fa3429dce9f15bea836f81d3 Linode] on the $20/month plan. The new $10/month plan will halve our costs and still provide sufficient resources. We currently are located in the Atlanta datacenter. This is good because it is still in the Eastern time zone and is not too far away but should be remote from any disaster that might occur in Pittsburgh. The only downside is they block some ports, which means Monkeybot needs to be configured to use an alternative port to connect to Freenode IRC. The Newark datacenter would be closer and doesn't block ports. However, a large-scale power outage could affect both Pittsburgh and New Jersey. | |
| + | |||
| + | Other options are possible; for example [https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing Digital Ocean] has a $5/month plan that has less horsepower but should still be sufficient for our needs. The main benefit is that costs would be halved again. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can add your suggestions in this section. Note that web hosting is not sufficient; we need a virtual private server (VPS) or dedicated server to accommodate our mailing lists and IRC bot. Since we've been very happy with the service we've gotten from Linode and are comfortable with how it works, please support alternative suggestions with a compelling case for how they'd be an improvement. | ||
