Sadly I can't seem to get Screenconnect working
What OS are you trying?
I suspect that this is because SC does not support ARM architecture, almost no one does. You are pretty limited in offerings to install when you leave the AMD64 world.

WordPress works much better on Scaleway then DO, do to the fact that you have 2GB of RAM.
Are you sure it is from the memory and not from the completely different processing situation. Different architecture, configuration, etc.

Anyone going to try this?
I know someone who tried it last week and wasn't impressed.
It was much slower than they expected. -
Since the architecture is ARM rather than AMD64, what we are likely to find is that for some things it performs well and for others it does not and that it is far less predictable than we are used to as the command paths are completely different and things aren't just faster or slower but completely different.

So you would not use it?

From what I have seen, what causes problems with WordPress isn't WordPress at all. It's the MySQL running out of memory. With 2GB, I am not running out anymore

SC does support ARMv7, however they don't support hard floating points, whatever that means....

All depends on need. I like ARM a lot and am very supportive of it. You just need to be aware that everything that you use must be compiled for it.

Which is why Fibernetics reputation went down with them.

@scottalanmiller Right now I am using DO, however this is temping. Which would you pick?
Very simple loads. 1 wordpress web server, and a screenconnect server. - all personal.

The price is great and the capacity (quad core, 2GB) is pretty awesome. Very limiting on OS but very tempting to check out. Only three nines SLA, that's pretty low. But you know me and SLAs.
I wouldn't just switch. But I think I'll be getting one to play with. Worth looking into.

The issues will be ScreenConnect for the reason mentioned and anything that comes up in the future. When you know your workloads, this can work great. When your workloads regularly change, not so much.

What distro will you use? I am going to run a sar and server bear.

In anycase, it makes a great jumpbox
