i want to install nodebb at this night.
Two fast options...
- Use NodeBB hosting. This is how they make their money, but you have to be on their shared infrastructure. No random shared hosting company will provide what you need, it's way too complicated and specific.
- Use a company like mine, NTG, because we do commercial NodeBB support and can help you build a NodeBB infrastructure on your own server (on prem, cloud, VPS, whatever.) We've been doing this for five and a half years and our largest site has hit 191 million hits in a month.

Yes, using their hosting is very easy and affordable and you get support right from the official source

That's a record, normal months are only 20-25m. -
@Bri We have what is rumored to be the single busiest thread in NodeBB history as well..

Just curious what the architecture is behind it? Is that pure NBB + 1 beefy VPS? Varnish? cluster?

Not a cluster, just a single VM. Yes, quite beefy. MongoDB, on CentOS 7, on Linode. Nginx in front along with CloudFlare on a commercial account (more features.) We keep RAM high enough that we never swap, and we are on screaming fast SSDs in RAID 10.
We were prepared to go to a cluster, but found that we can't push NodeBB reasonably to a point where we need more horsepower!

No Varnish. We use Varnish in some non-NodeBB web hosting stuff that we do, but never looked at combining it with NodeBB.

Actually still on MongoDB 3.4 as well. Really need to get that updated. Just haven't had time. We plan to migrate to Fedora 30, MongoDB 4, and Vultr at some point. But that takes time, and we are busy
