This forum is setup on DigitalOcean VPS (virtual private server) with a 512MB Memory, 20G SSD Disk, 1TB Transfer, and $5/mo plan.
As you knew, this forum was stable in the past months even if there were 801,251 page views in September.

DigitalOcean will reward $10 to my account credits for every referred customer that totals $10 in billings.
Thus, if your friends need a fast and cheap VPS server, please consider recommending him or she to buy a plan through my referral URL.
You will help me get the reward to pay the monthly cost of the server to run this forum. And your friends won't lose anything.
Thank you.

You too use DigitalOcean? Wow! :O

Yes, I purchased a shared web hosting plan to host this forum at first, but it's not stable.
So I moved to DigitalOcean and I'm impressed.
Compared to the basic web hosting plan, DigitalOcean has standalone IP and fast SSD disk which can be used as SWAP.
Besides, DigitalOcean VPS plan is cheap too.

Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is recommended by Google for building Android source code. So I'm also using it on DigitalOcean.

All my friends recommend Debian for web hosting. That seems to be most stable. The second is CentOS. Archlinux is never recommended to host anything critical as it is an advanced distro, but still its better than Ubuntu. Ubuntu lately has LOTS, yes LOTS of performance and stability issues.

For Android Dev, yep, Ubuntu is best.

Well, I used Ubuntu just because I'm more familiar with it.
BTW, I used Ubuntu LTS version.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Well, I am very familiar with Ubuntu too. Story goes back to a few years ago, when Ubuntu was my most preferred OS. One of my friends (his name is Wrix) started a distro with Ubuntu base named SuperX (http://superxos.com). Together me, he and several friends worked to make a very beautiful KDE interfaced OS. However, in the last two years, Ubuntu managed to damage one of my partitions, then 12.04 LTS screwed up one of my SD cards in the card reader. Soon enough my friend started getting complaints, that his OS was freezing on netbooks and laptops (even though its very light). We're moving to Debian but the path doesn't seem very easy and if Ubuntu doesn't improve, I don't know what SuperX's future will be.

This was just my experience of seeing packaging standards being degraded at Ubuntu each passing day.

Well, I used Ubuntu LTS server version only. I didn't encounter any issues.
