$ 5 per month, 768 MB RAM cheap hosting for NodeBB
-
You can run NBB perfectly fine for quite some time on DO's starter plan ($5 as well), so you should have no issue with Vultr. I'm unsure of anyone who has done business with them before however.
Have you tried DigitalOcean though? You get $10 credit, so essentially 2 months free, where with Vultr you would only get one. If you haven't tried DO, I'd recommend it - not because I promote them in my signature - but because they have the best support I've ever interacted with, and some fantastic documentation available on their website that has come in handy several times.

@meetdilip, they're both a VPS provider. When it comes to memory, more is better -- but if you're not going to use it, there's
no point in having itnot much of a point in having it.
I'll look into Vultr on my own and check out their service for a side project. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the company though, as I saw you posted a referral link. If you've done any business with them, I'd love to hear about your experiences. -
Choose from our library of CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Windows, FreeBSD templates or upload your own using our Custom ISO feature!
All virtual machines come with full "root" access and a dedicated IP address.
Conclusion: It's able to run node.js => It's able to host NodeBB

And if you think "too cheap, there is a problem" is simply beacause there is a "server crisis" in France x'P so "fight of price"
Nope. Nothing like that. I am just giving this a try. I checked Kimsufi and it has $ 20 per month. I am doing a non profit project and in a weak currency. So $ 5 is the maximum I can go at this moment.

don't forget to use nginx >= 1.3.13 (I don't know how far they did update this in debian repositories)
-
Thanks @frissdiegurke
Please check this guide : https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/installing/os/debian.html
I was planning to use this one.
-
The docs seem to be off at the moment but I'm sure they mention the nginx version
And in my opinion stay with debian rather than ubuntu
just to make sure you don't think all of us recommend ubuntu for your use-case... Arch Linux would be awesome btw -

I am inside home/nodebb and I have this command to install Nodebb. Is this correct ?
git clone -b v0.5.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb
if not, which one to use ?
-
This is correct to use the
v0.5.xbranch of NodeBB (I think this is your intention ;)).
It'll download the NodeBB data which is the first step of installing NodeBB
EDIT: you can replace thenodebbat the end of your command with./because you're already inside the nodebb directory (as long as it's empty)
