      Looking to speak to any who use Digital Ocean for Ares for their MU project.

        Hey,

        When I was theorycrafting with Ares on DigitalOcean I used the service where the developer of Ares would help you set it up and everything. There is also a discord you can hit up.

          Yep. That's a very real thing that @faraday will do. Will attest, it is totally painless.

            The directions are also not very difficult, but yes, @faraday will gladly assist.

            I recommend joining the Ares Discord!

              Fantastic. I was looking over Ares and the games that are running, and it seems more what I could support and learn.

              @Jeshin do you have that Discord chat? I'll send my account # over via PM. I'd like to chat about costs, what is available, what I need I think now and just general user experience with it.

                Faraday needs to invite you to the Discord, but she should be avail. soon. (Prob. working rn!)

                  Ares can run fine on the $5/month DO droplet. Probably forever. It's got 25G of disk space, and there is a referral bonus where you can get your first month free.

                    this is what SGM has. Have had no issues. Do recommend.

                      Not forever. We're starting to hit our disk space limit - I think we're sitting at about 85%. But definitely for a good long while, and upping it isn't that big a deal.

                      But we've also been going for almost a year and have accumulated a LOT of stuff - and I keep a small test server on the same droplet.

                        Well.
                        I need to, uh, get help doing this. I tried. It failed. I cried*

                              Yeah it depends on the size of your playerbase, grid, how many scenes people share, how many images you let them upload to the wiki, etc. I ran BSGU for almost 2 years and never came close to the disk limit. And as Tat mentioned, SL has a double install for their test server, so the real disk space usage is probably closer to 60% even with all their stuff.

                              But even at the larger $10/month droplet size, it's on par with most traditional MU hosting plans.

                              Folks can PM me here or on the Ares forum (or pretty much anywhere you can find me) for an invite to the discord.

                                I think probably 2-5 players. I don't think it'd be getting a large playerbase but you never know. The above is really helpful!

                                  GH is a little over 9 GB and on DO. No complaints.

                                    What besides Digital Ocean is a "traditional MU hosting plan"?
