VPS for a Docker stack
I need a VPS for a project consisting of several Docker containers: a web application, PostgreSQL, Redis and a couple of background workers.
I’m leaning toward hostpro.com because their KVM VPS gives root access, which is pretty much a requirement for the way I want to manage the server. I also like that I can choose a configuration with NVMe storage.
For this kind of setup, would 4 vCPUs / 8 GB RAM be enough, or should I consider 8 GB RAM as the minimum only if I plan to add more services later?

Try VPS accounts from a reliable hosting provider - inet.ws.
Their customer service is incredible. There are no "tech egotists" there like with 99% of the other IT firms. They are a problem solver and solution provider.
I like the idea of having 30 days of backup history on a VPS, especially for projects where problems might not be noticed immediately. HostPro also allows individual files and directories to be restored, which can be much more convenient than restoring everything.
Not everyone talks about backups until something breaks, but that's exactly why I appreciate hostpro.com. They run daily backups across all services, which makes recovery after data damage, an update failure, or a hacking incident painless. On top of that, their technical support is staffed by qualified people 24/7 and never charges for help. Speed has been consistently good in my experience.
