Any server experts amongst us?

[Admin]

Currently we have this website hosted on Vultr using Cloudways platform that runs Apache with a NGINX proxy and we also have full page cache but only for guests and there is no cache for logged in users.

I read here and there Litespeed ESI can cache pages for logged in users too but then read contradictions at some places saying NGINX Varnish does a better job.

Not a huge difference from what I understand but why settle for less when there's no budget restrains?

I am thinking about getting Litespeed+Cloudflare.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Also need suggestions about the VPS, is Vultr Mumbai the best thing for Indian visitors or get something else like a Linode high performance? Even AWS of Google cloud or if you have any other suggestions please also mention the reason what makes it better.

I am not good at this so please do not use complicated technical jargon.

I am not an expert but I can tell you that Vultr high frequency VPS is the way to go for Mumbai location.

Get the smallest VPS and get free Cyberpanel+Free Litespeed Enterprise and use cloudflare on top for global visitors = ultra fast loading pages

Need to use LScache plugin for xenforo.

Litespeed enterprise is free upto 2GB RAM, This foum only needs 1GB ram until we start getting some 30-40 members online, then ESI will be required and a paid license will be required with larger RAM.

I can do the Cyberpanel + LSI setup if you want.

That would be great, are you able to take backup from the current server and move it to the new one but testing before pointing the domain to new server?

Yes, it is easy stuff. Just take a Mysql dump from phpmyadmin and download front end files using SFTP and restore on new server and all done.

There will not be any down time either. Let me know when you want it done so I can make myself available for the scheduled day. I dont have anything to do either because I am medically down and stay at home all day.
