Does this meet my requirements?

Our forums is rather small, been out for ~6 months and has 2,884 messages, 160 users. Apart from xenforo it will run a backup every 12 hours internally and remotely, do you think that the KS-2 plan from here will be sufficient or should I get a higher plan?

Should really work fine.

I assume you don't use Cpanel, DirectAdmin or Plesk?
If using stack LAMP or LEMP setup it should work fine.

Had a quick look at lemp, was planning to just use mysql and phpmyadmin but what is nginx ?

I meant why is it required..

Anyways,
what do you recommend, i meant if it isnt enough power i can upgrade to the next level or high but just looking for the cheapest and easiest option (bit of a noob)...

 

[epic_ninj4]

oh also it will be accepting backups every 2 hours (only 15gbs before zipped.) from my other server.

I mean regarding the hosting, still recommend KS-2? I just dont want to set it all up to find out its running pretty bad...

KS-2 plan is a bit slow.
If your budget can afford KS-4 then go with it.
KS-4 can handle even a medium size forum.

[rdn]

Yeah, that would be fine.

 

[epic_ninj4]

Yeah, that would be fine.

okay thanks, ill go with that one.

hey guys the KS-2 plan just came available, just wanted to get any final opinions on whether it can handle a small-medium xenforo site considering you have to pay setup fees as well.
