We’re up and running now, 30 minutes behind schedule.

I had added 1TB of storage to the server, but it turned out to be too slow and impacted performance hugely.

I was able to get 25GB extra NVMe storage for $7/mo, which should be enough to hold us for a couple months at the rate the DB has been growing. But that’s just a bandaid. I like our current hosting provider but I will most likely have to find a new one as HostHatch doesn’t have many options for larger SSD storage at prices we can afford. Good news I suppose, in addition to additional storage we also have 2 extra CPU cores and 6GB more RAM (22GB). Of course we don’t really need those, but nice to have in any case.

In the meantime, I’ll speak to their support team to see if they have any non-standard upgrade options or else research other providers.
