Re: [GLLUG] which Virtual Host provider

As all has moved to tele-everything I need a reliable way to host Church meetings. I need just 25Gb, 1Gb Ram, 2Gh, but I also need advise on bandwidth req. No fail safe, unless someone sponsors it. Since this is for a large group of people, I would advise against setting up your own VM instance. For instance, on a Digital Ocean droplet with 2Gb of RAM, I managed to get about 12 people on Jitsi and it seems to run out of steam. For anything more than that, a non-shared platform (own hardware) is probably advisable. Do you have a reason for not using the Jitsi (*) hosted service? The Surrey Linux User Group have been using this with great success for all their monthly meetings.

E.g. qcow2 or actual block devices. KVM appears very slow for USB devices. Some of your tests appear to include USB in the path. USB devices are also very slow when used with WINE.
