@phenomlab 1gb ram 1vcpu AMD premium
and i am also getting flarum errors sometimes, i have observed when i am opening virtualmin this is happening more frequently while switching between webmin and virtualmin

edit:
i am aware that MySQL itself takes about 500mb to run, i have noticed this during the setup of Virtualmin

This is nowhere near enough to run Webmin / Virtualmin which explains the slowness. You ideally need 2 x CPU and at least 2Gb RAM.

i am already paying around $50 at cloudways the same server will be continued to use for another 6months. I am thinking to move back to cloudways for now and switch back to virtualmin once we are ready to leave.so meanwhile I can save 20*6= $120
4gb 2cpu would be great for virtualmin but running flarum is getting more expensive these days. if it is WordPress it would not cost us money et al. each has its own benefits

@Hari Is the preference for Cloudways based on geolocation ? $50 is VERY expensive for what you are getting. Below is my system, also running Webmin / Virtualmin
This system costs me €29 per month, so $35

@phenomlab yes, we want the server to be in India, digital ocean or aws has data centres here.
it is the thing “we will continue to pay CW for the next 6months whey we need to pay for extra for flarum again, it’s $10 that is not a big deal at this moment” once we cancel CW we can spend $24 USD for flarum 4gb 2cpu
your plan is costing $48 on digital ocean.

@Hari I just remembered that there in fact ways to reduce the footprint of VirtualMin to make it run faster on slower machines.

@phenomlab thanks for sharing, after four or five months I will migrate to DO 2 or 4gb RAM droplet.
