Hi James -

• Did Droplet specs change in the last year? Yes! In January 2018 DigitalOcean released a major pricing update that at least doubled RAM on every Droplet size, and increased SSD storage on most, and even number of vCPUs on some plans.
• Is there a way to move the old droplet to the new standard? Yes! Go to your old Droplet’s page in the control panel and click Resize. Resizing to the NEW $5 Droplet plan will double your RAM to 1GB and give you 5GB more SSD storage. NOTE: Resizing will require you to restart your Droplet, if you’ve never restarted it, you may need to login afterwards and confirm Wordpress/MySQL etc.. are correctly set to auto-run on startup.
• Should I diagnose the memory consumption on wealth-hack regardless? - Do you get the memory usage alerts around the same time of day? Often there is a daily log aggregation or backup process that momentarily surges memory usage, but isn’t otherwise a problem. If you are noticing that your site is generally slow, there are tons of other optimizations you can make, here’s a good place to start: https://serverpilot.io/community/articles/how-to-reduce-php-and-wordpress-memory-usage.html

A free upgrade to bring WealthHack up to the level of BetSharper! Great news @aha, many thanks for the share. My next backup is a few days away, I’ll get through this and then look to activate the resize option:)

I’ll take a look at performance post upgrade to see if I still have horsepower issues and if so, look to use your helpful optimization guide. Again, appreciate your advice @aha:)

Couldn’t help it, I struck while the iron was hot and resized it. Utterly faultless and conducted literally within 2 mins! Very very impressed Team DigitalOcean. I continue to be a very happy customer (and tell my friends and coworkers the same)……
