I’m rescaling the server because it currently has a bit too little RAM to handle that many unicyclists 
| Before | After | |
|---|---|---|
| vCPU | 4 | 8 |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| Monthly Cost | 15 € | 10 € |

Maintenance is done. The forum feels way slower than before. I’ll wait and see if it doesn’t improve, I’ll upscale for a more expensive one (23€ a month instead of 15€ for the “old” server).
Median home page load time for 20 tries:
| CPX31 (old server) | CX43 (new server) |
|---|---|
| 523 ms | 876 ms |
We’ll see if and how it changes over time.
I could live with that.
Thank you very much for your effort.

I’m conducting small tests again; the forum might be offline for a few minutes from time to time. 
I’ve finished conducting my tests.
I just updated the current plan (same specs and slightly cheaper), but added disk space which I was also lacking. This will allow me to stop running out of space when the software creates a backup, and also to keep more than one backup in case the forum runs into trouble.
The overall bill will increase by 4€ a month, which is negligible, especially for the peace of mind it gives (also, no more interventions from me to manually free disk space…)
