Hi,
We currently use Digital Ocean for some of our databases and we want to setup a new instance to host a WordPress site with the below spec:
-
2 vCPU
-
4GB RAM
-
SSD Storage - 50GB
-
Data Transfer - 250GB
-
SSL Certificates
-
Backup capabilities
-
Ability to host two sites (Live and Dev versions)
Could you feedback to me the best solution to cover this off please?
Many Thanks, Iain

Heya,
You can give the following marketplace image a try:

As for backups, try this
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/backups/
automatically-created disk images of Droplets. Enabling backups for Droplets enables system-level backups at weekly or daily intervals, which provides a way to revert to an older state or create new Droplets.
Heya, @iainwarde
You can run both your live and development WordPress sites on the same Droplet by configuring two virtual hosts using Apache or Nginx. Each site can have its own directory and database, so a single DigitalOcean Droplet with 2 vCPUs and 4GB of RAM should work well.
For SSL, you can use Let’s Encrypt, which is free and easy to set up. Backup-wise, you can enable automatic DigitalOcean backups for a small additional fee or take manual snapshots as needed. You could also configure offsite backups to a service like DigitalOcean Spaces or S3.
Regards
