do you guys have a good tutorial or walk through for Digital Ocean? I’m in the same boat. Galaxy is super easy but a bit pricey for me at the moment

thanks in advance!!

Here is your tutorial. I´m using mupx and Digital Ocean to run my side projects

Actually, DO is not the cheapest option! An Amazon EC2 t2.nano server (512MB RAM) will run you US$4.76/mo. If you pre-pay a year up front, that drops to an effective cost of $3.17/mo. Or heck, you could get a t2.micro (1GB RAM, 1 CPU) at $6.25/mo prepaid for one year.

I personally like Heroku, if you site is fairly small there is a free account, one click installs for mongoLab add on.

Here is a 10 step tutorial on how to deploy your app https://medium.com/@gautham.gg/deploy-a-meteor-1-3-application-to-heroku-cda1f68ca20a#.1ylgbq5nn

OVH will give you 2gb of RAM for 3.5$ / month. Sometimes, you can even get a 30% price drop for a year, so it’s like 2.5$ for 2gb of RAM :wink:

I’ve discovered it from a similar topic on crater and moved there from DO 6-8 months ago, never looked back. Still don’t know, where to spend remaining referral DO credits :slight_smile:

Didn’t read the whole thread. For cheap options you can’t beat free: mLab + Azure app.

I’m coming from Modulus so I’d really like to know how to deploy to a server like OVH. Is it pretty much the same as DO? They seem really cool!

I would look into static site hosting, using https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby and React instead. It is without any cost. :smiley:

Modulus is good? or stay away?
