Any of these would confortably work, the 64Gb would be my selection : Linode 48GB 48 GB 12 Cores 768 GB SSD 20 TB 40 Gbps 4000 Mbps $.48 / hr ($320 / mo) Sign Up Linode 64GB 64 GB 16 Cores 1152 GB SSD 20 TB 40 Gbps 6000 Mbps $.72 / hr ($480 / mo) Sign Up Linode 80GB 80 GB 20 Cores 1536 GB SSD 20 TB 40 Gbps 8000 Mbps $.96 / hr ($640 / mo)
Not cheap. For that money, a good bare metal budget server (with SSD's, decent CPU's and as much ram as you can) would be cheaper in the long run. As you can notice before, my laptop with 2 SSD's in stripe are faster than any virtual machine/hosting and even real hardware server. So if you are good at building machines (or selecting hardware) you could gain a lot by doing it yourself. I know linode the best, from all VM providers , I think they are the fastest, but I haven't tested an AWS (amazon) host that I could compair, because I had no access to one. You could also be smart and split the work instead of doing it on 1 server you can spread it out over: - frontend(s) (nginx ) - render servers (anything, tilemill, renderd etc) - postgres database server(s) This *could* be made cheaper like that. and you could make combo's of server flavors if you have that option at the VM-farmer: for renderers, you can take a compute node, for the webservers, you only need some local file cache to store local tiles so take a cheaper file serving node. And for the database, a memory optimized node etc. Sometimes more small dedicated servers work faster than 1 giant all-purpose one. Amazon has a list here https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/ But amazon is very expensive. The main advantage is when you need more parallel rendering, renderd can actually scale it's rendering horizontally. As always , how deep you want to go is up to yourself.
